Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Jack Preiss mostly deals with Biochemistry, Enzyme, Starch, Glucose-1-Phosphate Adenylyltransferase and Protein subunit. His studies in Escherichia coli, Mutant, Glycogen, Glycogen branching enzyme and Endosperm are all subfields of Biochemistry research. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Activator and Enzyme.

Jack Preiss usually deals with Starch and limits it to topics linked to Chloroplast and Degradative enzyme. His Glucose-1-Phosphate Adenylyltransferase research incorporates themes from Fructose, Heterotetramer and Glycogen synthase. His Protein subunit research includes themes of Amino acid, Enzyme assay, Spinach, Kilodalton and Allosteric regulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Regulation of the Amount of Starch in Plant Tissues by ADP Glucose Pyrophosphorylase (578 citations)
  • From Glycogen to Amylopectin: A Model for the Biogenesis of the Plant Starch Granule (386 citations)
  • Functional analysis of conserved histidines in ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Escherichia coli. (358 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Enzyme, Glycogen branching enzyme, Escherichia coli and Glycogen. His research brings together the fields of Molecular biology and Biochemistry. His Enzyme study combines topics in areas such as Amino acid, Endosperm, Protein subunit and Mutant.

His work carried out in the field of Protein subunit brings together such families of science as Enzyme assay and Spinach. His Glycogen branching enzyme research incorporates themes from Branching, Amylopectin, Stereochemistry and Active site. His Glycogen study incorporates themes from Adenosine Diphosphate Glucose, Glucosyltransferases and Glucan.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (85.98%)
  • Enzyme (50.61%)
  • Glycogen branching enzyme (23.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2018)?

  • Biochemistry (85.98%)
  • Enzyme (50.61%)
  • Glycogen branching enzyme (23.17%)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Enzyme, Glycogen branching enzyme, Glycogen synthase and Escherichia coli. His Biochemistry research focuses on Molecular biology and how it connects with Glycosyltransferase. His work deals with themes such as Amino acid and Activator, which intersect with Enzyme.

His Glycogen branching enzyme research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Branching, Stereochemistry, Starch and Active site. Jack Preiss has researched Glycogen synthase in several fields, including Wild type and Binding site. His Escherichia coli study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glucose 1-phosphate, Specific activity and Resolution.

Between 2000 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase: A regulatory enzyme for plant starch synthesis (231 citations)
  • ADP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase, a Regulatory Enzyme for Bacterial Glycogen Synthesis (196 citations)
  • Starchless Mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Lack the Small Subunit of a Heterotetrameric ADP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase (140 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Enzyme, Protein subunit, Allosteric regulation and Glucose-1-Phosphate Adenylyltransferase. Mutant, Mutagenesis, Glycogen synthase, Endosperm and Biosynthesis are the subjects of his Biochemistry studies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Glycogen, Amino acid and Stereochemistry.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Allosteric regulation, Specific activity, Effector, Alanine, Asparagine and Residue is strongly linked to Escherichia coli. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Enzyme assay and Locus is closely connected to Heterotetramer in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Glucose-1-Phosphate Adenylyltransferase. His work in Glycogen branching enzyme addresses subjects such as Protein structure, which are connected to disciplines such as Peptide sequence.
