Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

His main research concerns Crystallography, Stereochemistry, Protein structure, Molecule and Protein folding. His study in Crystallography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dihedral angle, Hydrogen bond, Side chain and Energy minimization. His Stereochemistry study which covers Amino acid that intersects with Amino acid residue and Residue.

Harold A. Scheraga interconnects Antiparallel, Potential energy, Binding site and Globular protein in the investigation of issues within Protein structure. As a part of the same scientific study, Harold A. Scheraga usually deals with the Molecule, concentrating on Computational chemistry and frequently concerns with Energy. His Protein folding research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Folding, Statistical physics and Molecular dynamics.

His most cited work include:

  • Energy parameters in polypeptides. VII. Geometric parameters, partial atomic charges, nonbonded interactions, hydrogen bond interactions, and intrinsic torsional potentials for the naturally occurring amino acids (1357 citations)
  • Monte Carlo-minimization approach to the multiple-minima problem in protein folding. (1091 citations)
  • Structure of Water and Hydrophobic Bonding in Proteins. I. A Model for the Thermodynamic Properties of Liquid Water (921 citations)

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

Harold A. Scheraga focuses on Crystallography, Stereochemistry, Protein structure, Molecule and Protein folding. Harold A. Scheraga combines subjects such as Dihedral angle, Hydrogen bond and Side chain with his study of Crystallography.
