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 Biochemistry, RNA, Genetics, Ribozyme and DNA. All of his Biochemistry and Membrane, Protocell, mRNA display, Peptide and Ribosome investigations are sub-components of the entire Biochemistry study. Jack W. Szostak combines subjects such as Directed evolution, Nucleic acid and Binding site with his study of RNA.

His Binding site study deals with Binding protein intersecting with DNA Mutational Analysis, Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, Regulatory sequence, Base pair and Transcription. His work investigates the relationship between DNA and topics such as Computational biology that intersect with problems in Sequence space. Jack W. Szostak interconnects Stereochemistry and Enzyme in the investigation of issues within Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment.

His most cited work include:

  • In vitro selection of RNA molecules that bind specific ligands. (6930 citations)
  • The double-strand-break repair model for recombination (1937 citations)
  • RNA-peptide fusions for the in vitro selection of peptides and proteins (1133 citations)
