Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Amino acid

His primary areas of study are Photosystem II, Crystallography, Biochemistry, Cytochrome and Oxygen evolution. Jian Ren Shen focuses mostly in the field of Photosystem II, narrowing it down to matters related to Photochemistry and, in some cases, Hydrogen bond. Jian Ren Shen has included themes like Molecule, Manganese and Water splitting in his Crystallography study.

When carried out as part of a general Biochemistry research project, his work on Cytochrome b6f complex, DCMU and Random hexamer is frequently linked to work in Cytochrome c and Hexagonal crystal system, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Jian Ren Shen studied Oxygen evolution and Electron transport chain that intersect with Ion and Bromide. His Photosynthesis study incorporates themes from Protein structure, Artificial photosynthesis and Catalysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Crystal structure of oxygen-evolving photosystem II at a resolution of 1.9 Å. (2613 citations)
  • Crystal structure of oxygen-evolving photosystem II from Thermosynechococcus vulcanus at 3.7-A resolution (940 citations)
  • Native structure of photosystem II at 1.95 Å resolution viewed by femtosecond X-ray pulses. (722 citations)

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

Jian Ren Shen mainly investigates Photosystem II, Photosynthesis, Biophysics, Photochemistry and Crystallography. His Photosystem II study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Photosynthetic reaction centre, Oxygen evolution and Crystal structure. Jian Ren Shen combines subjects such as Chlorophyll and Water splitting with his study of Photosynthesis.

His study in Biophysics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thylakoid, Protein subunit, Chlorophyll a, Diatom and Protein structure. His work investigates the relationship between Photochemistry and topics such as Redox that intersect with problems in Catalysis. His studies deal with areas such as Valence, Molecule, Hydrogen bond and Cluster as well as Crystallography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosystem II (76.20%)
  • Photosynthesis (44.19%)
  • Biophysics (36.83%)

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

  • Biophysics (36.83%)

  • Photosynthesis (44.19%)

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

Jian Ren Shen spends much of his time researching Biophysics, Photosystem II, Photosynthesis, Photosystem I and Diatom. His Biophysics research incorporates themes from Thylakoid, Quenching, Fluorescence, Protein subunit and Photosystem. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crystallography, Photosynthetic reaction centre, Redox and Photochemistry.

His Crystallography study combines topics in areas such as Valence, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Femtosecond. His Photosynthesis research integrates issues from Protein structure, Cyanobacteria and Chlorophyll. Jian Ren Shen interconnects Angstrom and Function in the investigation of issues within Photosystem I.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An oxyl/oxo mechanism for oxygen-oxygen coupling in PSII revealed by an x-ray free-electron laser (66 citations)
  • Structural basis for blue-green light harvesting and energy dissipation in diatoms (55 citations)
  • Structural basis for blue-green light harvesting and energy dissipation in diatoms (55 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Photosynthesis

His main research concerns Photosynthesis, Biophysics, Photosystem II, Photosystem I and Cyanobacteria. His work on Photosynthetic reaction centre is typically connected to Tetramer as part of general Photosynthesis study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Thylakoid, Trimer, Diatom, Protein structure and Photosystem.

He performs integrative study on Photosystem II and Substrate in his works. His research investigates the link between Photosystem I and topics such as Protein subunit that cross with problems in Carbon fixation, Pigment binding, Pigment and Trimer core. His Catalysis research includes elements of Oxide, Cluster, Photochemistry, Oxidizing agent and Oxygen-evolving complex.
