Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in DNA, Molecular biology, Biophysics, Topoisomerase and Biochemistry. Howard A. Nash combines subjects such as Bacteriophage, DNA-binding protein, Integration Host Factors and Mutant, Gene with his study of DNA. His Bacteriophage study incorporates themes from Recombination and Site-specific recombination.

His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Circular bacterial chromosome and Lysogenic cycle. His studies deal with areas such as DNA Gyrase B Subunit, DNA gyrase, DNA polymerase and Nucleoprotein as well as Biophysics. His Topoisomerase study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Camptothecin and Active site.

His most cited work include:

  • DNA gyrase: an enzyme that introduces superhelical turns into DNA (872 citations)
  • CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF AN IHF-DNA COMPLEX : A PROTEIN-INDUCED DNA U-TURN (648 citations)
  • A eukaryotic enzyme that can disjoin dead-end covalent complexes between DNA and type I topoisomerases. (331 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are DNA, Genetics, Recombination, Molecular biology and Biophysics. Howard A. Nash interconnects Bacteriophage, Lambda phage, Binding site and Recombinase in the investigation of issues within DNA. His study in the fields of Site-specific recombination and Synapsis under the domain of Recombination overlaps with other disciplines such as Lambda and Attachment site.

His Molecular biology research includes themes of Recombinant DNA and Intracellular. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both HU Protein and Integration Host Factors. His work in the fields of TDP1, Topoisomerase, DNA ligase and Circular bacterial chromosome overlaps with other areas such as DNA clamp.

He most often published in these fields:

  • DNA (47.78%)
  • Genetics (40.00%)
  • Recombination (24.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2014)?

  • Genetics (40.00%)
  • Ion channel (7.78%)
  • Mutant (18.89%)

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

Genetics, Ion channel, Mutant, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila Protein are his primary areas of study. His Mutant study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry. His Drosophila melanogaster research integrates issues from Gene dosage, Congenic, Genetic variation and Copy-number variation.

His research integrates issues of Peptide sequence, DNA, DNA repair and Transmembrane domain in his study of Drosophila Protein. His Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase 1 research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Molecular biology, RAD52 Gene and DNA- lyase, AP site. In general Gene study, his work on Complementary DNA often relates to the realm of Neuropil, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2001 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Repair of topoisomerase I covalent complexes in the absence of the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase Tdp1. (145 citations)
  • A putative cation channel and its novel regulator: cross-species conservation of effects on general anesthesia. (100 citations)
  • An Unusual Cation Channel Mediates Photic Control of Locomotion in Drosophila (79 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Howard A. Nash mainly investigates Mutant, Ion channel, Genetics, TDP1 and Biochemistry. Mutant is the subject of his research, which falls under Gene. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Voltage-dependent calcium channel and Nervous system.

The various areas that he examines in his Genetics study include Anesthesia and Circadian rhythm. Howard A. Nash has researched TDP1 in several fields, including Camptothecin and Saccharomyces. DNA- lyase, AP site, RAD52 Gene, Mutagenesis and DNA are the core of his Biochemistry study.
