Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Photosynthesis
  • Biochemistry
  • Botany

Jan M. Anderson mainly focuses on Photosystem II, Thylakoid, Photochemistry, Photosynthesis and Photoinhibition. His Photosystem II research includes themes of Photosynthetic reaction centre and Biophysics. His Thylakoid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vesicle and Biochemistry, Liposome.

Jan M. Anderson interconnects High irradiance, P680 and In vivo in the investigation of issues within Photochemistry. His study in Photosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Electron transport chain and Chlorophyll. His Photoinhibition study incorporates themes from Photoprotection, Protein turnover, Protein degradation and Chlorophyll fluorescence.

His most cited work include:

  • Lateral heterogeneity in the distribution of chlorophyll-protein complexes of the thylakoid membranes of spinach chloroplasts (571 citations)
  • The grand design of photosynthesis: Acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to environmental cues (391 citations)
  • UV-B damage and protection at the molecular level in plants. (343 citations)

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

Photosystem II, Thylakoid, Photosynthesis, Biophysics and Chlorophyll are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photochemistry and Chlorophyll fluorescence in addition to Photosystem II. His Thylakoid research includes elements of Membrane, Biochemistry and Spinach.

His work on Photosynthetic acclimation as part of general Photosynthesis study is frequently connected to Oxygen evolution, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research in Biophysics intersects with topics in Photosynthetic reaction centre, Photosynthetic membrane and Plant physiology. Jan M. Anderson combines subjects such as Carotenoid, Gel electrophoresis, Light-harvesting complex and Chlorophyll a with his study of Chlorophyll.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosystem II (59.33%)
  • Thylakoid (54.67%)
  • Photosynthesis (44.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2012)?

  • Thylakoid (54.67%)
  • Photosystem II (59.33%)
  • Photosynthesis (44.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Thylakoid, Photosystem II, Photosynthesis, Photosystem and Biophysics. His Thylakoid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Membrane, Biochemistry, Tris and Chlorophyll a. His study ties his expertise on Photochemistry together with the subject of Photosystem II.

His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Photosynthetic membrane and Plant physiology. His Photosystem study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Integral membrane protein, Chlorophyll and Photosystem I, P700. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Biophysics, focusing on Electron transport chain and, on occasion, Plastoquinone, Electron transfer and Genetics.

Between 1997 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • The role of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex in chloroplast membrane stacking. Cation-induced aggregation of reconstituted proteoliposomes. (168 citations)
  • Unifying model for the photoinactivation of Photosystem II in vivo under steady-state photosynthesis (137 citations)
  • Unifying model for the photoinactivation of Photosystem II in vivo under steady-state photosynthesis (137 citations)

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

  • Photosynthesis
