Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Virus

His primary scientific interests are in Virus, Virology, Biochemistry, Protein structure and Influenza A virus. His research in Virus intersects with topics in Transcription, Mutant and Glycoprotein. John J. Skehel combines subjects such as Antibody and Antigen with his study of Virology.

The various areas that he examines in his Protein structure study include Conformational change, Peptide sequence and Lipid bilayer fusion. His Lipid bilayer fusion research integrates issues from Ectodomain and Protein folding. His Influenza A virus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Receptor, N-Acetylneuraminic acid and Binding site.

His most cited work include:

  • Atomic structure of the ectodomain from HIV-1 gp41 (1476 citations)
  • Structure of influenza haemagglutinin at the pH of membrane fusion (1375 citations)
  • The Structure and Function of the Hemagglutinin Membrane Glycoprotein of Influenza Virus (1193 citations)

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

John J. Skehel spends much of his time researching Virology, Virus, Hemagglutinin, Biochemistry and Lipid bilayer fusion. His work carried out in the field of Virology brings together such families of science as Antibody and Antigen. His studies in Virus integrate themes in fields like Molecular biology and Glycoprotein.

The study incorporates disciplines such as T cell, Conformational change, Stereochemistry, Epitope and Binding site in addition to Hemagglutinin. The concepts of his Lipid bilayer fusion study are interwoven with issues in Viral entry, Biophysics and Ectodomain. John J. Skehel has included themes like Receptor and Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 in his Viral protein study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (59.49%)
  • Virus (55.38%)
  • Hemagglutinin (26.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2021)?

  • Virology (59.49%)
  • Virus (55.38%)
  • Hemagglutinin (26.15%)

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

John J. Skehel mostly deals with Virology, Virus, Hemagglutinin, Influenza A virus and Receptor. The Neuraminidase, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 and Orthomyxoviridae research he does as part of his general Virology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as H5N1 genetic structure, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Many of his studies on Virus involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Binding site.

His research integrates issues of Epitope, Biophysics and Lipid bilayer fusion in his study of Hemagglutinin. His Receptor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Protein structure, Plasma protein binding, Avidity and Viral protein. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Biochemistry, focusing on Viral entry and, on occasion, Glycoprotein and Simian immunodeficiency virus.

Between 2004 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A neutralizing antibody selected from plasma cells that binds to group 1 and group 2 influenza A hemagglutinins (940 citations)
  • The structure of H5N1 avian influenza neuraminidase suggests new opportunities for drug design (653 citations)
  • Structure of an unliganded simian immunodeficiency virus gp120 core (481 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Virus

His primary areas of investigation include Virology, Virus, Influenza A virus, Hemagglutinin and Receptor. His study in Virology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Antibody and Monoclonal antibody. John J. Skehel has researched Virus in several fields, including Sialic acid, Binding site and Microbiology.

Hemagglutinin is the subject of his research, which falls under Biochemistry. His Receptor study which covers Viral protein that intersects with Plasma protein binding, Mutant and Avidity. His Lipid bilayer research focuses on Viral entry and how it relates to Simian immunodeficiency virus, Gp41 and Glycoprotein.
