Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Glycorandomization, Glycosylation, Glycosyltransferase and Enzyme. Jon S. Thorson frequently studies issues relating to Enediyne and Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as In vitro, Mechanism of action, Combinatorial chemistry, Natural product and Drug discovery as well as Glycorandomization.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Sugar, Small molecule and Cytotoxicity in addition to Glycosylation. His Glycosyltransferase study combines topics in areas such as Glycopeptide, Stereochemistry, Acylation and Nucleotide. His Enzyme study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Indolocarbazole, Disaccharide, Carbohydrate and Methionine.

His most cited work include:

  • Antitumor antibiotics: bleomycin, enediynes, and mitomycin. (363 citations)
  • A genomics-guided approach for discovering and expressing cryptic metabolic pathways. (274 citations)
  • Nicotinic receptor binding site probed with unnatural amino acid incorporation in intact cells (266 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Biosynthesis, Enzyme and Glycosylation are his primary areas of study. His study involves Glycosyltransferase, Glycorandomization, Natural product, In vitro and Nucleotide, a branch of Biochemistry. The concepts of his Glycorandomization study are interwoven with issues in Sugar phosphates, Galactokinase and Drug discovery.

His study explores the link between Stereochemistry and topics such as Streptomyces that cross with problems in Cytotoxicity and Metabolite. His study in Biosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Indolocarbazole, Gene cluster, Reductase and Enediyne. Glycosylation is closely attributed to Small molecule in his work.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (52.36%)
  • Stereochemistry (43.78%)
  • Biosynthesis (22.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Stereochemistry (43.78%)
  • Biochemistry (52.36%)
  • Biosynthesis (22.32%)

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

Jon S. Thorson focuses on Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Biosynthesis, Streptomyces and Cancer research. Jon S. Thorson has researched Stereochemistry in several fields, including Enantioselective synthesis and Regioselectivity. His Biochemistry research focuses on Enzyme, Methionine Adenosyltransferase, Nucleotide, Nucleoside and Glycosylation.

His research investigates the link between Enzyme and topics such as Methyltransferase that cross with problems in Chemical biology and Small molecule. His research in Biosynthesis intersects with topics in Gene cluster, Disaccharide, Reductase and Micromonospora echinospora. His work carried out in the field of Streptomyces brings together such families of science as Amino acid, Isolation, Metabolite, Phenazine and Bacterial strain.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phaeophleospora vochysiae Savi & Glienke sp. nov. Isolated from Vochysia divergens Found in the Pantanal, Brazil, Produces Bioactive Secondary Metabolites (29 citations)
  • Self-Resistance During Muraymycin Biosynthesis: A Complementary Nucleotidyltransferase and Phosphotransferase with Identical Modification Sites and Distinct Temporal Order (24 citations)
  • Insights into the Target Interaction of Naturally Occurring Muraymycin Nucleoside Antibiotics. (18 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Medicinal plants, Antibacterial activity, Stereochemistry and Streptomyces. His research related to Biosynthesis, Nucleotide, Enzyme, Nucleoside and Transferase might be considered part of Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Disaccharide, Phosphotransferase, Gene cluster and Nucleotidyltransferase, which intersect with Biosynthesis.

In his research, Mutant is intimately related to Methionine Adenosyltransferase, which falls under the overarching field of Enzyme. In his works, Jon S. Thorson performs multidisciplinary study on Stereochemistry and Extramural. His Streptomyces research includes elements of Fatty acid, Aquifex aeolicus, Mutagenesis and Staphylococcus aureus.
