Kiyoshi Nagai spends much of his time researching Spliceosome, RNA splicing, Intron, Cell biology and RNA. His work deals with themes such as Biophysics, Cryo-electron microscopy, Small nuclear RNA, Stereochemistry and Exon, which intersect with Spliceosome. His work carried out in the field of RNA splicing brings together such families of science as Ribonucleoprotein, Molecular biology, Protein structure and Helicase.

His studies deal with areas such as Messenger RNA and Alternative splicing as well as Cell biology. Kiyoshi Nagai interconnects Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Active site in the investigation of issues within RNA. His studies link Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein with snRNP.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cryo-EM structure of the spliceosome immediately after branching (160 citations)
  • Cryo-EM structure of the yeast U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP at 3.7 Å resolution (147 citations)
  • Structure of a pre-catalytic spliceosome (125 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Kiyoshi Nagai mainly focuses on RNA splicing, Spliceosome, Intron, Molecular biology and Small nuclear RNA. Kiyoshi Nagai has researched RNA splicing in several fields, including Ribonucleoprotein, Base pair, Cryo-electron microscopy and Cell biology. His work on Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Particle as part of general Ribonucleoprotein research is frequently linked to B vitamins, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Cryo-electron microscopy course of study focuses on Computational biology and RNA. His Spliceosome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Precursor mRNA, Minor spliceosome, Biophysics, Stereochemistry and Exon. His research integrates issues of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Prp24 in his study of Biophysics.
