Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Herbert Weissbach spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Enzyme, Methionine, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His research on Biochemistry frequently links to adjacent areas such as Histamine. His work is dedicated to discovering how Enzyme, Stereochemistry are connected with Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, Methyltransferase, Hydroxyindole O Methyltransferase, GTP' and Benzimidazole and other disciplines.

His work in Methionine sulfoxide and Methionine synthase is related to Methionine. The various areas that Herbert Weissbach examines in his Internal medicine study include Serotonin metabolism, Lysergic acid diethylamide, 5-Hydroxytryptophan and Monoaminergic. His Endocrinology research includes elements of Gastroenterology and Malignant Carcinoid Syndrome.

His most cited work include:

  • Aromatic l-Amino Acid Decarboxylase (735 citations)
  • The identification of 5-hydroxy-3-indoleacetic acid in normal urine and a method for its assay. (460 citations)
  • High-quality life extension by the enzyme peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase (389 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Enzyme, Escherichia coli, Molecular biology and Methionine are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Biochemistry and topics such as Stereochemistry that intersect with problems in Cofactor. The Enzyme study combines topics in areas such as Amino acid and Methionine sulfoxide.

Herbert Weissbach usually deals with Methionine sulfoxide and limits it to topics linked to Methionine sulfoxide reductase and MSRA. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from In vitro, Transcription, Gene expression, Gene and DNA. His Methionine study combines topics in areas such as Methyltransferase, Homocysteine and Vitamin B12.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (70.87%)
  • Enzyme (20.87%)
  • Escherichia coli (21.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1977-2006)?

  • Biochemistry (70.87%)
  • Molecular biology (19.29%)
  • Escherichia coli (21.65%)

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

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Escherichia coli, Methionine and Methionine sulfoxide. His work in Enzyme, Methionine sulfoxide reductase, Protein biosynthesis, Ribosome and Methionine synthase are all subfields of Biochemistry research. His work carried out in the field of Enzyme brings together such families of science as Sulfoxide, Serotonergic and Pharmacology.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Escherichia coli, DNA, Stimulation, Host factor, Amino acid and Guanosine 5'-Diphosphate is strongly linked to In vitro. As a member of one scientific family, Herbert Weissbach mostly works in the field of Methionine, focusing on Psychological repression and, on occasion, Methionine biosynthesis and Dihydrofolate reductase. His Methionine sulfoxide research integrates issues from Peptide sequence and Stereochemistry.

Between 1977 and 2006, his most popular works were:

  • High-quality life extension by the enzyme peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase (389 citations)
  • ENZYMATIC REDUCTION OF PROTEIN-BOUND METHIONINE SULFOXIDE (282 citations)
  • Escherichia coli peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase gene: regulation of expression and role in protecting against oxidative damage. (261 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Herbert Weissbach mostly deals with Biochemistry, Methionine sulfoxide, Enzyme, Methionine and Methionine sulfoxide reductase. As part of his studies on Biochemistry, Herbert Weissbach often connects relevant areas like Molecular biology. His study in Methionine sulfoxide is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ribosomal protein, 5S ribosomal RNA, 5.8S ribosomal RNA, Protein biosynthesis and 50S.

Herbert Weissbach has included themes like Sulfoxide, Serotonergic and Pharmacology in his Enzyme study. His Methionine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glycoprotein, Lupus erythematosus, Antibody, Translation and Ribosome. His work investigates the relationship between Methionine sulfoxide reductase and topics such as MSRA that intersect with problems in Oxidative stress.
