Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

Koji Nakanishi mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Retinal, Rhodopsin and Photochemistry. Koji Nakanishi combines subjects such as Ouabain and Fluorescence with his study of Biochemistry. Koji Nakanishi works mostly in the field of Stereochemistry, limiting it down to concerns involving Adduct and, occasionally, Benzopyrene and DNA.

His work deals with themes such as Lipofuscin, Biophysics, Pigment and Chlamydomonas, which intersect with Retinal. His Rhodopsin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phototaxis, Visual phototransduction and Photoprotein. His Photochemistry research incorporates themes from Bacteriorhodopsin and Protonation.

His most cited work include:

  • Control of BRCA2 Cellular and Clinical Functions by a Nuclear Partner, PALB2 (598 citations)
  • Benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxides as intermediates in nucleic acid binding in vitro and in vivo. (534 citations)
  • The lipofuscin fluorophore A2E mediates blue light-induced damage to retinal pigmented epithelial cells. (482 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Organic chemistry, Chromophore and Rhodopsin. His study ties his expertise on Adduct together with the subject of Stereochemistry. His Chromophore study is concerned with the field of Photochemistry as a whole.

His Rhodopsin study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Retinal. His Retinal study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Biophysics. His Circular dichroism research includes themes of Exciton and Porphyrin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (34.79%)
  • Biochemistry (15.31%)
  • Organic chemistry (11.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2017)?

  • Stereochemistry (34.79%)
  • Ginkgolides (3.96%)
  • Biochemistry (15.31%)

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

His main research concerns Stereochemistry, Ginkgolides, Biochemistry, Organic chemistry and Ginkgolide. His work on Porphyrin expands to the thematically related Stereochemistry. His study on Ginkgolides also encompasses disciplines like

  • Bilobalide that intertwine with fields like Chromatography,
  • Receptor and related Platelet-activating factor and Glycine receptor.

His works in Retinal pigment epithelium, Lipofuscin, Rhodopsin, Retinal and Biotinylation are all subjects of inquiry into Biochemistry. His research investigates the connection between Retinal and topics such as Biophysics that intersect with issues in Fluorophore. Koji Nakanishi works mostly in the field of Circular dichroism, limiting it down to topics relating to Photochemistry and, in certain cases, Singlet oxygen and Pigment.

Between 2001 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Control of BRCA2 Cellular and Clinical Functions by a Nuclear Partner, PALB2 (598 citations)
  • Human Fanconi anemia monoubiquitination pathway promotes homologous DNA repair (329 citations)
  • Involvement of oxidative mechanisms in blue-light-induced damage to A2E-laden RPE. (250 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Retinal, Circular dichroism and Ginkgolides are his primary areas of study. His research ties Polyene and Stereochemistry together. Koji Nakanishi works on Biochemistry which deals in particular with Retinal pigment epithelium.

His research in Retinal intersects with topics in Lipofuscin, Biophysics, Membrane and Cleavage. His work carried out in the field of Circular dichroism brings together such families of science as Photochemistry, Porphyrin, Dichroic glass, Fluorescence and Exciton. His Ginkgolides study combines topics in areas such as Receptor, Bilobalide and Ginkgolide.
