1970 - Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada Academy of Science

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Protamine, Histone, Peptide sequence and Amino acid. Throughout his Protamine studies, he incorporates elements of other sciences such as Genetics, Gene, Australidelphia and Molecular phylogenetics. His Histone research incorporates elements of Chromatin and Molecular biology.

As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Molecular biology, focusing on RNA and, on occasion, Cell, Complementary DNA and Messenger RNA. His Peptide sequence research focuses on Sperm and how it connects with Molecular mass, Methionine and Sequence. His research integrates issues of Nucleic acid sequence, Threonine, Serine and Thermolysin in his study of Amino acid.

His most cited work include:

  • Vertebrate protamine genes and the histone-to-protamine replacement reaction. (345 citations)
  • Sites of phosphorylation on pyruvate dehydrogenase from bovine kidney and heart (238 citations)
  • Human sperm protamines. Amino-acid sequences of two forms of protamine P2. (142 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Gordon H. Dixon mainly focuses on Molecular biology, Protamine, Biochemistry, Genetics and Gene. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Complementary DNA, Peptide sequence, Messenger RNA and RNA. His Peptide sequence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Complete sequence and Southern blot.

Chromatin, Amino acid, Histone, DNA and Edman degradation are the subjects of his Biochemistry studies. His Histone study incorporates themes from Acetylation and Cell biology. His research in Nucleic acid sequence focuses on subjects like Coding region, which are connected to Untranslated region.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (60.68%)
  • Protamine (49.57%)
  • Biochemistry (35.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-1996)?

  • Protamine (49.57%)
  • Genetics (29.06%)
  • Molecular biology (60.68%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Protamine, Genetics, Molecular biology, Gene and Intron. His study in the field of Sexing, Polynucleotide, Y chromosome and DNA sequencing is also linked to topics like Gorilla. In his study, he carries out multidisciplinary Molecular biology and Trout research.

Gordon H. Dixon is interested in Nucleic acid sequence, which is a branch of Gene. The various areas that Gordon H. Dixon examines in his Nucleic acid sequence study include Amino acid and Coding region. His Peptide sequence study is focused on Biochemistry in general.

Between 1990 and 1996, his most popular works were:

  • Vertebrate protamine genes and the histone-to-protamine replacement reaction. (345 citations)
  • Two salmon neuropeptides encoded by one brain cDNA are structurally related to members of the glucagon superfamily (112 citations)
  • Molecular phylogeny and evolution of marsupial protamine P1 genes. (80 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Protamine, Genetics, Gene, Peptide sequence and Nucleic acid sequence are his primary areas of study. His is doing research in Intron and Molecular evolution, both of which are found in Gene. Gordon H. Dixon combines subjects such as Mitochondrial DNA and Homology with his study of Intron.

His research in Molecular evolution intersects with topics in Arginine and Polymerase chain reaction. His Peptide sequence study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry. His study in the fields of Peptide, Coding region and Threonine under the domain of Biochemistry overlaps with other disciplines such as Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide and Peptide hormone.
