Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Cell biology, Nuclear pore, Endoplasmic reticulum and Ribosome. Biochemistry is a component of his Polysome, Membrane, Membrane protein, Signal peptide and Signal peptidase complex studies. Günter Blobel combines subjects such as Integral membrane protein, SUMO protein and Nuclear lamina with his study of Cell biology.

His Nuclear pore study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Karyopherin, Nucleocytoplasmic Transport Proteins, Nucleoporin, Biophysics and Immunoelectron microscopy. His Endoplasmic reticulum research incorporates elements of Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8, Signal recognition particle receptor and Sec61. His work deals with themes such as Puromycin, Protein biosynthesis, Messenger RNA and Transfer RNA, which intersect with Ribosome.

His most cited work include:

  • Transfer of proteins across membranes. I. Presence of proteolytically processed and unprocessed nascent immunoglobulin light chains on membrane-bound ribosomes of murine myeloma. (2400 citations)
  • 70K heat shock related proteins stimulate protein translocation into microsomes (1068 citations)
  • TRANSFER OF PROTEINS ACROSS MEMBRANES II. Reconstitution of Functional Rough Microsomes from Heterologous Components (932 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Cell biology, Nuclear pore, Nucleoporin and Biophysics. His Ribosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Signal peptide, Protein biosynthesis and Karyopherin study are his primary interests in Biochemistry. His Endoplasmic reticulum study combines topics in areas such as Microsome, Signal recognition particle receptor, Secretory protein and Signal recognition particle.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both GTP-binding protein regulators and Nuclear lamina. His research integrates issues of Crystallography, Nucleocytoplasmic Transport Proteins, Immunoelectron microscopy and Protein structure in his study of Nuclear pore. His Biophysics research incorporates themes from Transport protein and Binding site.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (64.19%)
  • Cell biology (29.73%)
  • Nuclear pore (21.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2019)?

  • Nuclear pore (21.96%)
  • Nucleoporin (18.24%)
  • Biophysics (17.57%)

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

Günter Blobel mostly deals with Nuclear pore, Nucleoporin, Biophysics, Biochemistry and Crystallography. He is investigating Nuclear pore as part of his inquiry into Cytoplasm and Cell biology. His Cell biology research includes elements of Spindle apparatus, Multipolar spindles and Spindle pole body.

He has included themes like Nucleocytoplasmic Transport, Membrane, Nuclear lamina and Molecular biology in his Nucleoporin study. The Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Karyopherins, Cytoskeleton, Function and Binding site. Transport protein, Helicase, Protein subunit, Acetylcholine receptor and Membrane insertion are subfields of Biochemistry in which his conducts study.

Between 2004 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • A SUMO ligase is part of a nuclear multiprotein complex that affects DNA repair and chromosomal organization. (373 citations)
  • The Structure of the Nuclear Pore Complex (353 citations)
  • Karyopherin-mediated import of integral inner nuclear membrane proteins. (232 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Günter Blobel mainly focuses on Nuclear pore, Nucleoporin, Cell biology, Nucleocytoplasmic Transport and Biophysics. His Nuclear pore study contributes to a more complete understanding of Biochemistry. His research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Ring.

His studies deal with areas such as Crystallography and Membrane as well as Nucleoporin. In his research, Lamin and Spindle pole body is intimately related to Nuclear protein, which falls under the overarching field of Cell biology. Günter Blobel has researched Nucleocytoplasmic Transport in several fields, including Protein structure and Nanotechnology.
