Overview

Leo G. Nijtmans was affiliated with Radboud University in the Netherlands. Their research contributions spanned the field of Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, with a focus on Molecular Biology, Clinical Biochemistry, and Genetics. The scientist's work addressed several key topics including Mitochondrial Function and Pathology, Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies, RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms, Metabolism and Genetic Disorders, ATP Synthase and ATPases Research, and Connective tissue disorders research.

Over their career, Nijtmans published papers in a number of academic venues, most notably Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics with two publications. Other contributions appeared in The American Journal of Human Genetics and Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease.

Their recent papers included:

  • TMEM70 functions in the assembly of complexes I and V, 2020, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics
  • NDUFS4 deletion triggers loss of NDUFA12 in Ndufs4 mice and Leigh syndrome patients: A stabilizing role for NDUFAF2, 2020, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics
  • Mutations in ATP6V1E1 or ATP6V1A Cause Autosomal-Recessive Cutis Laxa, 2020, The American Journal of Human Genetics
  • Corrigendum to "Superoxide production is inversely related to complex I activity in inherited complex I deficiency" [Biochim Biophys Acta. 1772 (3) (2007) 373-381], 2020, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease

Nijtmans frequently collaborated with other researchers, including Sergio Guerrero-Castillo, Mariël van den Brand, Richard J. Rodenburg, Ulrich Brandt, and Peter H.G.M. Willems. Each of these coauthors appeared in at least two shared publications.
