Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His primary areas of investigation include Sortase, Biochemistry, Sortase A, Peptidoglycan and Pilus shaft. As a member of one scientific family, Hung Ton-That mostly works in the field of Sortase, focusing on Protein Sorting Signals and, on occasion, Transport protein. His primary area of study in Biochemistry is in the field of Threonine.

Hung Ton-That interconnects Peptide sequence and Plasma protein binding in the investigation of issues within Sortase A. His Peptidoglycan research incorporates themes from Bacterial cell structure and Signal peptide. The Pilus shaft study combines topics in areas such as Pilus assembly and Microbiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Staphylococcus aureus Sortase, an Enzyme that Anchors Surface Proteins to the Cell Wall (768 citations)
  • Purification and characterization of sortase, the transpeptidase that cleaves surface proteins of Staphylococcus aureus at the LPXTG motif (488 citations)
  • An iron-regulated sortase anchors a class of surface protein during Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis (315 citations)

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

Hung Ton-That mostly deals with Sortase, Biochemistry, Pilus, Microbiology and Pilin. His studies deal with areas such as Fimbria, Mutant, Peptidoglycan, Sortase A and Signal peptide as well as Sortase. Hung Ton-That frequently studies issues relating to Staphylococcus aureus and Biochemistry.

The various areas that Hung Ton-That examines in his Pilus study include Bacterial adhesin and Bacteria. His Microbiology study combines topics in areas such as Immunoelectron microscopy, Streptococcus agalactiae, Virulence and Biofilm. Hung Ton-That combines subjects such as Protein structure, Isopeptide bond, Protein subunit and Stereochemistry with his study of Pilin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sortase (64.76%)
  • Biochemistry (48.57%)
  • Pilus (43.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Sortase (64.76%)
  • Peptidoglycan (29.52%)
  • Cell biology (8.57%)

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

Sortase, Peptidoglycan, Cell biology, Pilus and Bacterial cell structure are his primary areas of study. His Sortase research incorporates elements of Isopeptide bond, Lysine, Biochemistry, Enzyme and Stereochemistry. His study focuses on the intersection of Biochemistry and fields such as Biofilm with connections in the field of Fimbria and Phase variation.

His research in Cell biology tackles topics such as Mutant which are related to areas like Caenorhabditis elegans. His works in Pilin and Pilus assembly are all subjects of inquiry into Pilus. His Bacterial cell structure research integrates issues from Biophysics and Gram.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Antimicrobial Sensing Coupled With Cell Membrane Remodeling Mediates Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence in Enterococcus faecalis (15 citations)
  • Cell-to-cell interaction requires optimal positioning of a pilus tip adhesin modulated by gram-positive transpeptidase enzymes (9 citations)
  • Structure and Mechanism of LcpA, a Phosphotransferase That Mediates Glycosylation of a Gram-Positive Bacterial Cell Wall-Anchored Protein. (9 citations)
