Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Genetics, DNA, Cell biology, Topoisomerase and Protein structure are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Synaptonemal complex and Chromosome segregation. His DNA supercoil study, which is part of a larger body of work in DNA, is frequently linked to C9orf72, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Kevin D. Corbett interconnects Monopolin complex, Sister chromatids, Kinetochore and Chromatid in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Stereochemistry, Protomer and DNA repair in addition to Topoisomerase. The various areas that he examines in his Protein structure study include Transferrin receptor, Antigen, Glycoprotein and Virology.

His most cited work include:

  • Structure, Molecular Mechanisms, and Evolutionary Relationships in DNA Topoisomerases (334 citations)
  • SARS-CoV-2 Infection Depends on Cellular Heparan Sulfate and ACE2. (152 citations)
  • The Structural Basis for Substrate Specificity in DNA Topoisomerase IV (132 citations)

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

Kevin D. Corbett mostly deals with Cell biology, Crystallography, X-ray crystallography, Kinetochore and Genetics. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Mad2, HORMA domain, Homologous recombination and Endonuclease. His HORMA domain study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Spindle checkpoint and Plasma protein binding.

His studies in Kinetochore integrate themes in fields like Spindle apparatus and Mitosis. His study in Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion and Cohesin are all subfields of Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Biophysics and DNA gyrase, which intersect with DNA.
