Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Kurt Wüthrich mostly deals with Protein structure, Nuclear magnetic resonance, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Crystallography and Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. His Protein structure research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Triple-resonance nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Antiparallel, Peptide sequence and Prion protein. His research on Nuclear magnetic resonance also deals with topics like

  • Molecule which intersects with area such as Aqueous solution,
  • Spin that intertwine with fields like Macromolecule.

The study incorporates disciplines such as NMR spectra database and Analytical chemistry in addition to Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. His studies in Crystallography integrate themes in fields like Dihedral angle, Nuclear Overhauser effect and Protein secondary structure. Kurt Wüthrich has included themes like Helix and Peptide in his Stereochemistry study.

His most cited work include:

  • MOLMOL: a program for display and analysis of macromolecular structures. (6230 citations)
  • NMR of proteins and nucleic acids (5947 citations)
  • Application of phase sensitive two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy (COSY) for measurements of 1H-1H spin-spin coupling constants in proteins. (2814 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Crystallography, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance, Stereochemistry and Protein structure. His research integrates issues of Conformational isomerism, Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Chemical shift in his study of Crystallography. His work carried out in the field of Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy brings together such families of science as Micelle, Macromolecule, NMR spectra database and Analytical chemistry.

In his work, Aqueous solution is strongly intertwined with Molecule, which is a subfield of Nuclear magnetic resonance. His work deals with themes such as Side chain, Hydrogen bond and Peptide, which intersect with Stereochemistry. His Protein structure study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dihedral angle, Peptide sequence, Helix and Protein secondary structure.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Crystallography (33.15%)
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (24.04%)
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (22.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Crystallography (33.15%)
  • Protein structure (23.82%)
  • Stereochemistry (23.37%)

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

Kurt Wüthrich mainly focuses on Crystallography, Protein structure, Stereochemistry, Biochemistry and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Kurt Wüthrich combines subjects such as Structure, Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Structural genomics with his study of Crystallography. His work on Protein dynamics as part of general Protein structure research is frequently linked to Coronavirus, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Stereochemistry research integrates issues from Receptor and Binding domain, Binding site. The Biochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Biophysics and Prion protein. His Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy research entails a greater understanding of Nuclear magnetic resonance.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An EB1-Binding Motif Acts as a Microtubule Tip Localization Signal (503 citations)
  • An EB1-Binding Motif Acts as a Microtubule Tip Localization Signal (503 citations)
  • Biased Signaling Pathways in β2-Adrenergic Receptor Characterized by 19F-NMR (490 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Kurt Wüthrich mostly deals with Protein structure, Biochemistry, G protein-coupled receptor, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Structural biology. His Protein structure research incorporates themes from Crystallography, Peptide sequence, Stereochemistry and Membrane protein. His Crystallography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectroscopy, Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Structural genomics.

As a part of the same scientific family, Kurt Wüthrich mostly works in the field of Stereochemistry, focusing on Agonist and, on occasion, Phospholipid. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Yield and Biophysics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Micelle, NMR spectra database, Cell-free system, Molecule and Analytical chemistry in addition to Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
