Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Heinz G. Floss focuses on Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Biosynthesis, Polyketide and Gene cluster. Heinz G. Floss is studying Moiety, which is a component of Stereochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Antibiotics and Mutant as well as Biosynthesis.

In the field of Polyketide, his study on Combinatorial biosynthesis overlaps with subjects such as Ansamycin Antibiotics. His studies in Gene cluster integrate themes in fields like ATP synthase and Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Heinz G. Floss has included themes like Methane monooxygenase and Hydroxylation in his Substrate study.

His most cited work include:

  • Taxol®: science and applications. (350 citations)
  • Rifamycin-mode of action, resistance, and biosynthesis. (319 citations)
  • Biosynthesis of the ansamycin antibiotic rifamycin: deductions from the molecular analysis of the rif biosynthetic gene cluster of Amycolatopsis mediterranei S699. (297 citations)

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

His main research concerns Stereochemistry, Biosynthesis, Biochemistry, Enzyme and Organic chemistry. He mostly deals with Moiety in his studies of Stereochemistry. Heinz G. Floss studies Biosynthesis, namely Polyketide.

His study ties his expertise on Streptomyces together with the subject of Biochemistry. In his study, Streptomyces collinus is inextricably linked to Cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, which falls within the broad field of Shikimic acid. His work carried out in the field of Methyl group brings together such families of science as Steric effects and Methylation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (69.90%)
  • Biosynthesis (45.02%)
  • Biochemistry (33.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2012)?

  • Biochemistry (33.08%)
  • Biosynthesis (45.02%)
  • Stereochemistry (69.90%)

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

Heinz G. Floss mostly deals with Biochemistry, Biosynthesis, Stereochemistry, Polyketide and Gene cluster. His work on Gene, Rifamycin, Complementation and Actinosynnema pretiosum as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Maytansinoid, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work on Polyketide synthase and Acyl carrier protein as part of general Biosynthesis study is frequently connected to Heterologous expression, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Stereochemistry research focuses on Moiety in particular. His study on Combinatorial biosynthesis is often connected to Structural diversity as part of broader study in Polyketide. His biological study deals with issues like Streptomyces hygroscopicus, which deal with fields such as Valienamine, Epimer and Amination.

Between 2000 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Rifamycin-mode of action, resistance, and biosynthesis. (319 citations)
  • The biosynthetic gene cluster of the maytansinoid antitumor agent ansamitocin from Actinosynnema pretiosum (269 citations)
  • Recent developments in the maytansinoid antitumor agents. (254 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Biosynthesis, Stereochemistry, Polyketide and Gene. His Biosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Shikimic acid and Rifamycin. A large part of his Stereochemistry studies is devoted to Moiety.

His Polyketide research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural product and Metabolic engineering. In general Gene study, his work on Mutant and Open reading frame often relates to the realm of Heterologous expression, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Gene cluster research incorporates themes from Streptomyces and Streptomyces hygroscopicus.
