Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Law
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Crystallography, Protein structure, Biochemistry, Stereochemistry and Molecule. His Crystallography research includes elements of X-ray crystallography, Protein dynamics, Molecular dynamics and Myoglobin. His research in Protein structure intersects with topics in Thermophile, Escherichia coli, Resolution, GTP' and Binding site.

His study explores the link between Biochemistry and topics such as PARK7 that cross with problems in Oxidative stress, Mitochondrion, Gene isoform, Cysteine sulfinic acid and Neuroprotection. His research integrates issues of Enolase superfamily, Active site, Homology, Triosephosphate isomerase and Histidine in his study of Stereochemistry. His Molecule research integrates issues from Side chain and Catalysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Aromatic-aromatic interaction: a mechanism of protein structure stabilization (1902 citations)
  • The Catalytic Pathway of Cytochrome P450Cam at Atomic Resolution (976 citations)
  • Temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction as a probe of protein structural dynamics (945 citations)

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

Gregory A. Petsko mainly investigates Stereochemistry, Crystallography, Biochemistry, Active site and Enzyme. His studies in Stereochemistry integrate themes in fields like Isomerase, Substrate, Triosephosphate isomerase, Binding site and Mandelate racemase. His Crystallography study combines topics in areas such as X-ray crystallography, Molecule and Protein structure.

Molecule is closely attributed to Side chain in his work. His study in Dehydrogenase, Mutant, Pseudomonas putida, Cysteine and Escherichia coli falls under the purview of Biochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (26.78%)
  • Crystallography (23.41%)
  • Biochemistry (22.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Cell biology (11.61%)
  • Biochemistry (22.47%)
  • Human genetics (6.18%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Biochemistry, Human genetics, Neuroscience and Computational biology. His work deals with themes such as Wild type, Inflammasome and Gene knockdown, which intersect with Cell biology. As part of his studies on Biochemistry, Gregory A. Petsko frequently links adjacent subjects like Stereochemistry.

His Stereochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Protein structure and Substrate. His Human genetics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology and Genome Biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Genetically modified mouse, Neurodegeneration and Pharmacology in addition to Neuroscience.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A soluble α-synuclein construct forms a dynamic tetramer (327 citations)
  • A soluble α-synuclein construct forms a dynamic tetramer (327 citations)
  • CEACAM1 regulates TIM-3-mediated tolerance and exhaustion (286 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Law
  • Gene

Gregory A. Petsko spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Cell biology, Parkinson's disease, Pharmacology and Alpha-synuclein. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Disease, Neurodegeneration and Genetically modified mouse. The study incorporates disciplines such as Amyloid beta, Gene knockdown, Green fluorescent protein, Wild type and Molecular biology in addition to Cell biology.

His Gene knockdown study incorporates themes from Caspase, Inflammasome, Caspase 1 and Immunology. The Parkinson's disease study combines topics in areas such as Movement disorders, Dopamine and Human genetics. His research integrates issues of Oligomer, Heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectroscopy, Tetramer and Circular dichroism in his study of Alpha-synuclein.
