Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

Joseph Horwitz focuses on Biochemistry, Biophysics, Crystallin, Chaperone and Protein structure. The study of Biochemistry is intertwined with the study of Molecular biology in a number of ways. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Melittin, Random coil, Lens protein, Function and Alpha-crystallin.

The various areas that Joseph Horwitz examines in his Crystallin study include Immunoprecipitation, Normal lens, Lens Fiber, Alpha-Crystallin A Chain and Gap junction. His work carried out in the field of Chaperone brings together such families of science as Heat shock protein and Protein aggregation. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Protein structure, Crystallography, Protein family and Förster resonance energy transfer is strongly linked to Protein subunit.

His most cited work include:

  • Alpha-crystallin can function as a molecular chaperone (1616 citations)
  • The major intrinsic protein (MIP) of the bovine lens fiber membrane : characterization and structure based on cDNA cloning (445 citations)
  • Disruption of α3 connexin gene leads to proteolysis and cataractogenesis in mice (358 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Crystallin, Biochemistry, Circular dichroism, Molecular biology and Biophysics. His Crystallin research includes elements of Lens, Alpha-Crystallin A Chain and Chaperone, Cell biology. Joseph Horwitz combines subjects such as Heat shock protein, Protein structure, Protein aggregation and Mutant with his study of Chaperone.

His work in Biochemistry tackles topics such as Lens which are related to areas like Gap junction and Fiber cell. His Circular dichroism research integrates issues from Size-exclusion chromatography, Chromophore and Absorption spectroscopy. The concepts of his Biophysics study are interwoven with issues in Membrane and Alpha-crystallin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Crystallin (45.14%)
  • Biochemistry (36.57%)
  • Circular dichroism (22.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2019)?

  • Crystallin (45.14%)
  • Biophysics (17.14%)
  • Cell biology (12.57%)

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

Joseph Horwitz mostly deals with Crystallin, Biophysics, Cell biology, Chaperone and Alpha-Crystallin A Chain. His Crystallin study is concerned with the field of Biochemistry as a whole. The Structural protein, Alpha B-Crystallin, Protein family and Alpha-crystallin research he does as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Homogeneous, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fluorescence spectroscopy, Dissociation and Mass spectrometry. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Danio and Zebrafish. His study in Chaperone is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crystallography, Mutant protein, Mutant and Protein aggregation.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Crystal structures of truncated alphaA and alphaB crystallins reveal structural mechanisms of polydispersity important for eye lens function. (243 citations)
  • Alpha crystallin: the quest for a homogeneous quaternary structure. (54 citations)
  • The Quaternary Organization and Dynamics of the Molecular Chaperone HSP26 Are Thermally Regulated (39 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

His primary scientific interests are in Crystallography, Chaperone, Heat shock protein, Population and Circular dichroism. His research in Chaperone intersects with topics in In vitro, Nucleus, Alpha-Crystallin A Chain, Mutant and Crystallin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Antiparallel, Protein aggregation and Beta sheet in addition to Alpha-Crystallin A Chain.

His Crystallin study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry. His studies in Heat shock protein integrate themes in fields like Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Mutant protein, Dissociation, Cell biology and In vivo. His work investigates the relationship between Alpha-crystallin and topics such as Protein quaternary structure that intersect with problems in Conformational change, Fluorescence spectroscopy and Biophysics.
