What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Redox
  • Amino acid

Jean LeGall focuses on Desulfovibrio gigas, Biochemistry, Desulfovibrio, Crystallography and Redox. His research in Desulfovibrio gigas tackles topics such as Electron transfer which are related to areas like Non-innocent ligand and Proton NMR. Biochemistry is frequently linked to Oxygen in his study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Inorganic chemistry, Hydrogenase, Strain and Heme. His research integrates issues of Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Catalysis and Nickel in his study of Crystallography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Oxidoreductase, Photochemistry, Rubredoxin, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Stereochemistry in addition to Redox.

His most cited work include:

  • Crystal Structure of the Xanthine Oxidase-Related Aldehyde Oxido-Reductase from D. gigas (342 citations)
  • The three classes of hydrogenases from sulfate-reducing bacteria of the genus Desulfovibrio (220 citations)
  • A structure-based catalytic mechanism for the xanthine oxidase family of molybdenum enzymes (162 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Desulfovibrio gigas, Crystallography and Desulfovibrio. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Sulfate-reducing bacteria and Bacteria. His Stereochemistry study incorporates themes from Oxidoreductase and Cytochrome, Cytochrome C3, Heme.

In his study, Operon is strongly linked to Superoxide dismutase, which falls under the umbrella field of Desulfovibrio gigas. His work carried out in the field of Crystallography brings together such families of science as Inorganic chemistry, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Molecule. The Desulfovibrio study combines topics in areas such as Amino acid, Hydrogenase, Molecular biology, Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Peptide sequence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (44.63%)
  • Stereochemistry (33.89%)
  • Desulfovibrio gigas (33.89%)

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

  • Biochemistry (44.63%)
  • Desulfovibrio gigas (33.89%)
  • Desulfovibrio (32.89%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Desulfovibrio gigas, Desulfovibrio, Crystallography and Cytochrome. He interconnects Coenzyme Q – cytochrome c reductase, Cytochrome P450 reductase and Bacteria in the investigation of issues within Biochemistry. His Desulfovibrio gigas study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Superoxide dismutase, Catalase, Rubredoxin, Oxygen and Open reading frame.

His Desulfovibrio study combines topics in areas such as Inorganic chemistry, Redox titration and Escherichia coli. His Crystallography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Protein structure, Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Molecule. His Cytochrome research integrates issues from Electron transport chain, Heme, Peptide sequence, Stereochemistry and Redox.

Between 1997 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Thermostabilization of proteins by diglycerol phosphate, a new compatible solute from the hyperthermophile Archaeoglobus fulgidus. (109 citations)
  • Thermostabilization of proteins by diglycerol phosphate, a new compatible solute from the hyperthermophile Archaeoglobus fulgidus. (109 citations)
  • Purification and characterization of an iron superoxide dismutase and a catalase from the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas. (98 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid
