Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Gene, Biosynthesis, Gene cluster and Stereochemistry. His work in the fields of Biochemistry, such as Glycosyltransferase, Polyketide synthase and Enzyme, intersects with other areas such as Oleandomycin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Molecular biology, Antibiotics and Streptomyces in addition to Gene.

As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Streptomyces, focusing on Mutant and, on occasion, Peptide sequence. His studies in Biosynthesis integrate themes in fields like Indole test and Biological activity. His Gene cluster research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Regulator gene, Sequence analysis and Polyketide.

His most cited work include:

  • Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster. (418 citations)
  • Indolocarbazole natural products: occurrence, biosynthesis, and biological activity (263 citations)
  • Improving production of bioactive secondary metabolites in actinomycetes by metabolic engineering. (223 citations)

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

José A. Salas spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Biosynthesis, Gene, Streptomyces and Gene cluster. In most of his Biochemistry studies, his work intersects topics such as Stereochemistry. José A. Salas has researched Biosynthesis in several fields, including Plasmid, Indolocarbazole, Glycosylation and Biological activity.

His Gene research includes themes of Molecular biology and Cyclase. His Streptomyces research focuses on Microbiology and how it connects with Actinomycetales. His research investigates the connection with Gene cluster and areas like Regulator gene which intersect with concerns in Structural gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (72.59%)
  • Biosynthesis (43.65%)
  • Gene (32.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (72.59%)
  • Streptomyces (31.98%)
  • Biosynthesis (43.65%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Streptomyces, Biosynthesis, Gene and Gene cluster. His study in the fields of Polyketide, Mutant and Nonribosomal peptide under the domain of Biochemistry overlaps with other disciplines such as Malonyl-CoA. The various areas that he examines in his Streptomyces study include Benzoxazole, Enterobactin, Microbiology, Enzyme and Heterologous expression.

His Biosynthesis research incorporates themes from Glycosylation and Stereochemistry. His Gene study results in a more complete grasp of Genetics. José A. Salas focuses mostly in the field of Gene cluster, narrowing it down to matters related to Repressor and, in some cases, Thioesterase.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster. (418 citations)
  • Activation and identification of five clusters for secondary metabolites in Streptomyces albus J1074 (129 citations)
  • Engineering precursor metabolite pools for increasing production of antitumor mithramycins in Streptomyces argillaceus. (43 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Gene cluster, Gene, Streptomyces, Biochemistry and Polyketide. Gene is a subfield of Genetics that he studies. José A. Salas is studying Biosynthesis, which is a component of Biochemistry.

Biosynthesis connects with themes related to Stereochemistry in his study. In general Stereochemistry, his work in Aglycone is often linked to Biocatalysis and Malonyl-CoA linking many areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Structural similarity and Sequence analysis, DNA as well as Mutant.
