Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Lars-Oliver Essen mainly investigates Protein structure, Stereochemistry, Crystallography, Biochemistry and Binding site. His Protein structure research integrates issues from Peptide sequence, Adenylyl cyclase, Photoswitch and Chromophore. His studies deal with areas such as Nonribosomal peptide, Condensation domain, Active site, Base pair and Peptide Synthases as well as Stereochemistry.

His work investigates the relationship between Crystallography and topics such as Bacteriorhodopsin that intersect with problems in Small molecule, Monoclinic crystal system, Glycolipid and Membrane protein. His work on Second messenger system, Enzyme and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as part of general Biochemistry research is often related to Diacylglycerol kinase and Bilin, thus linking different fields of science. His research in Enzyme tackles topics such as Cleavage which are related to areas like Pyrimidine dimer, DNA, Photolyase and DNA repair.

His most cited work include:

  • The Cryptochromes: Blue Light Photoreceptors in Plants and Animals (502 citations)
  • Crystal structure of a mammalian phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C delta. (466 citations)
  • Structure of the Light-Driven Chloride Pump Halorhodopsin at 1.8 Å Resolution (444 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Biophysics, Protein structure and Crystallography. Lars-Oliver Essen combines subjects such as Amino acid, Nonribosomal peptide, Peptide and Active site with his study of Stereochemistry. His Biophysics research includes elements of Cryptochrome, Chromophore and Effector.

His study in Cryptochrome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pyrimidine dimer, DNA repair, Arabidopsis thaliana and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. His Protein structure research incorporates themes from Genetics, Peptide sequence, Bacterial adhesin and Cell adhesion. His work in the fields of Crystal structure overlaps with other areas such as X-ray crystallography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (27.53%)
  • Stereochemistry (25.28%)
  • Biophysics (22.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (12.92%)
  • Biochemistry (27.53%)
  • Biophysics (22.47%)

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

Lars-Oliver Essen mostly deals with Cell biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Photolyase and Cofactor. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glycoprotein, Bacterial adhesin, Cell adhesion and Yeast. His research in Cell adhesion intersects with topics in Protein structure, Lectin and Structural motif.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Anaerobic bacteria, Bacteria and Geobacter in addition to Biochemistry. His Biophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Peptidomimetic, Isomerization, Protein stabilization and Protein–protein interaction. The Photolyase study combines topics in areas such as Cryptochrome and Chromophore.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Structure of the bifunctional cryptochrome aCRY from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. (20 citations)
  • Arabidopsis phytochrome A nuclear translocation is mediated by a far-red elongated hypocotyl 1-importin complex. (14 citations)
  • Sub-nanosecond tryptophan radical deprotonation mediated by a protein-bound water cluster in class II DNA photolyases (14 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His main research concerns Biophysics, Cell biology, Cryptochrome, Photolyase and Cofactor. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Electron paramagnetic resonance, Chromophore and Effector. The various areas that Lars-Oliver Essen examines in his Cryptochrome study include Photochemistry, Electron transfer, Histidine and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

DNA repair and DNA are all intrinsically tied to his study in Photolyase. The concepts of his DNA repair study are interwoven with issues in Flavin adenine dinucleotide and Flavoprotein. His Cofactor study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pyrimidine dimer, Protonation, Electron transport chain and Stereochemistry.
