Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Liang Tong spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Binding site, Protein structure, Stereochemistry and Active site. His study in Enzyme, Allosteric regulation, Biotin carboxylase, Transferase and Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is carried out as part of his Biochemistry studies. Liang Tong combines subjects such as c-Raf, Cyclin-dependent kinase 9, Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, MAP2K7 and MAP kinase kinase kinase with his study of Allosteric regulation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Protein kinase A, Protein subunit, Yeast, Splicing factor and Homology. His Protein structure research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Crystallography, Peptide sequence, GTP' and Cell biology. Many of his research projects under Stereochemistry are closely connected to Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Factors with Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Factors, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular switch for signal transduction: structural differences between active and inactive forms of protooncogenic ras proteins (855 citations)
  • Inhibition of p38 MAP kinase by utilizing a novel allosteric binding site. (706 citations)
  • Inhibition of p38 MAP kinase by utilizing a novel allosteric binding site. (706 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Enzyme, Active site and Protein structure. Biochemistry is represented through his Pyruvate carboxylase, Binding site, Transferase, RNA and Protein subunit research. Liang Tong works mostly in the field of RNA, limiting it down to topics relating to Cell biology and, in certain cases, Histone.

His Stereochemistry study also includes

  • Crystal structure which intersects with area such as Crystal and Mutant,
  • Serine most often made with reference to Proteases. His research in Active site intersects with topics in Hydrolase and Dimer. The concepts of his Protein structure study are interwoven with issues in Plasma protein binding, Peptide sequence, Sequence alignment, Crystallography and Biophysics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (47.07%)
  • Stereochemistry (24.17%)
  • Enzyme (20.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (47.07%)
  • Cell biology (14.50%)
  • RNA (8.14%)

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

Biochemistry, Cell biology, RNA, Enzyme and Polyadenylation are his primary areas of study. His work in Pyruvate carboxylase, Binding site, Active site, ATP citrate lyase and Oxidoreductase are all subfields of Biochemistry research. His Active site research integrates issues from Thermophile and Stereochemistry.

As a part of the same scientific study, Liang Tong usually deals with the RNA, concentrating on Messenger RNA and frequently concerns with Molecular mechanism. His study looks at the relationship between Enzyme and topics such as Gene, which overlap with Hydrolase. The various areas that Liang Tong examines in his Polyadenylation study include Protein structure and Cleavage.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibition by ND-630 reduces hepatic steatosis, improves insulin sensitivity, and modulates dyslipidemia in rats (134 citations)
  • Multivalent Small-Molecule Pan-RAS Inhibitors (130 citations)
  • 5' End Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Cap in Human Cells Promotes RNA Decay through DXO-Mediated deNADding. (88 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Liang Tong spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Cell biology, Enzyme, Polyadenylation and Binding site. His study in Pyruvate carboxylase, Oxidoreductase, Second messenger system, Citrate synthase and Osmolyte is done as part of Biochemistry. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Separase, Cohesin, Securin and Cysteine protease.

His Enzyme study incorporates themes from Glycosylation, Fusion protein and Glycobiology. His research investigates the connection with Polyadenylation and areas like Cleavage which intersect with concerns in Precursor mRNA, Hoogsteen base pair, Messenger RNA, Zinc finger and Molecular mechanism. His Binding site research incorporates themes from Biotin carboxylase, Enzyme catalysis, Ternary complex, Indole test and Active site.
