Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Kiyoshi Kita spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Mitochondrion, Respiratory chain, Cytochrome and Enzyme. Kiyoshi Kita frequently studies issues relating to Ascaris suum and Biochemistry. His Mitochondrion study combines topics in areas such as Oxidative phosphorylation, Plasmodium and Transfer RNA.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fumarate reductase, NADH dehydrogenase, Microbiology, COQ7 and Mitochondrial biogenesis. His work carried out in the field of Cytochrome brings together such families of science as Electron Transport Complex II, Cytochrome d, Gel electrophoresis and Heme. The study incorporates disciplines such as Lipid metabolism and Serum albumin in addition to Enzyme.

His most cited work include:

  • Terminal oxidases of Escherichia coli aerobic respiratory chain. I. Purification and properties of cytochrome b562-o complex from cells in the early exponential phase of aerobic growth. (238 citations)
  • Hit and lead criteria in drug discovery for infectious diseases of the developing world (224 citations)
  • Terminal oxidases of Escherichia coli aerobic respiratory chain. II. Purification and properties of cytochrome b558-d complex from cells grown with limited oxygen and evidence of branched electron-carrying systems. (214 citations)

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

Kiyoshi Kita focuses on Biochemistry, Mitochondrion, Respiratory chain, Enzyme and Molecular biology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biochemistry, Protein subunit is strongly linked to Ascaris suum. His research in Mitochondrion focuses on subjects like Plasmodium falciparum, which are connected to Cell biology, Virology and Microbiology.

The various areas that Kiyoshi Kita examines in his Respiratory chain study include Ascaris and NADH dehydrogenase. His study focuses on the intersection of Enzyme and fields such as Escherichia coli with connections in the field of Recombinant DNA. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Complementary DNA, Peptide sequence, Gene and Amino acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (53.23%)
  • Mitochondrion (19.38%)
  • Respiratory chain (17.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (53.23%)
  • Plasmodium falciparum (13.95%)
  • Microbiology (11.11%)

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

Kiyoshi Kita mainly investigates Biochemistry, Plasmodium falciparum, Microbiology, Pharmacology and Alternative oxidase. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, Enzyme, Mitochondrion, Glycerol kinase and In vitro are the subjects of his Biochemistry studies. Mitochondrion is a subfield of Cell biology that Kiyoshi Kita tackles.

His Microbiology research includes elements of Molecular biology, Cerebral Malaria, Fungus and Plasmodium berghei. His Pharmacology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas disease and In vivo. His research integrates issues of Ubiquinol, Trypanosoma brucei and Drug design in his study of Alternative oxidase.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hit and lead criteria in drug discovery for infectious diseases of the developing world (224 citations)
  • Parasites resistant to the antimalarial atovaquone fail to transmit by mosquitoes (75 citations)
  • Two Plasmodium 6-Cys family-related proteins have distinct and critical roles in liver-stage development (62 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Ascofuranone, Chagas disease, Pharmacology and Plasmodium falciparum. His works in Enzyme, Alternative oxidase, Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, Respiratory chain and Transferase are all subjects of inquiry into Biochemistry. His Alternative oxidase study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Potency, Trypanosoma brucei, Site-directed mutagenesis and Ubiquinol oxidase, Escherichia coli.

His Respiratory chain study also includes fields such as

  • Tumor microenvironment that intertwine with fields like Ubiquinone binding,
  • Ascaris suum which is related to area like Mitochondrion. His Ascofuranone study combines topics in areas such as Orsellinic acid, Biosynthesis, Cyclase and Hydroxylation. Kiyoshi Kita has researched Plasmodium falciparum in several fields, including Microbiology and Virology.
