Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Gene
DNA
Amino acid

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Bacterial outer membrane, Biochemistry, Cytoplasm, FepA and Membrane protein. Her Bacterial outer membrane research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Membrane, Siderophore and Cell biology. Her Cell biology research includes themes of Vesicle-associated membrane protein 8, Outer membrane efflux proteins and Virulence-related outer membrane protein family.

Her study explores the link between Biochemistry and topics such as Biophysics that cross with problems in Cell membrane. Her work is dedicated to discovering how FepA, Transmembrane domain are connected with Membrane potential and other disciplines. Her research in Periplasmic space intersects with topics in Peptide sequence and Membrane transport.

Her most cited work include:

Touch and go: tying TonB to transport (272 citations)
Energy transduction between membranes. TonB, a cytoplasmic membrane protein, can be chemically cross-linked in vivo to the outer membrane receptor FepA. (194 citations)
TonB and the gram-negative dilemma. (190 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Bacterial outer membrane, Biochemistry, Membrane protein, Cytoplasm and Biophysics. Her work carried out in the field of Bacterial outer membrane brings together such families of science as Periplasmic space, Transmembrane domain and Cell biology. The Periplasmic space study combines topics in areas such as Peptide sequence and Inner membrane.

Her study in Biochemistry focuses on Mutant, FepA, Membrane, Colicin and Electrochemical gradient. She has included themes like Amino acid, A-site, Membrane transport and Siderophore in her Membrane protein study. Her research integrates issues of Transport protein, Alanine and Cell membrane in her study of Biophysics.

She most often published in these fields:

Bacterial outer membrane (89.74%)
Biochemistry (74.36%)
Membrane protein (62.82%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

Bacterial outer membrane (89.74%)
Periplasmic space (52.56%)
Membrane protein (62.82%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Bacterial outer membrane, Periplasmic space, Membrane protein, Chemiosmosis and Biophysics. Her research on Bacterial outer membrane often connects related topics like Cytoplasm. Her Cytoplasm study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Escherichia coli, Spheroplast and Membrane.

The concepts of her Membrane protein study are interwoven with issues in Inner membrane and Plasma protein binding, Cell biology. Her Chemiosmosis research spans across into subjects like Biochemistry, Transmembrane domain and Protein structure. Kathleen Postle usually deals with Transmembrane domain and limits it to topics linked to Electrochemical gradient and Cell membrane.

Between 2009 and 2020, her most popular works were:

ExbD mutants define initial stages in TonB energization. (25 citations)
Death of the TonB Shuttle Hypothesis (25 citations)
Death of the TonB Shuttle Hypothesis (25 citations)
