Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Gene

Michael J. Levine spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Saliva, Mucin, Microbiology and Amylase. His Biochemistry study frequently involves adjacent topics like Molecular biology. In the field of Saliva, his study on Artificial salivas overlaps with subjects such as Tooth surface.

His research integrates issues of Molecular mass, Homology, Fucose and Cell biology in his study of Mucin. The various areas that Michael J. Levine examines in his Microbiology study include Ultracentrifuge, Bacteroides, Streptococcus, Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus mutans. Michael J. Levine interconnects Dental plaque, Digestion and Streptococcus gordonii in the investigation of issues within Amylase.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of salivary mucins in the protection of the oral cavity (435 citations)
  • Molecular cloning, sequence, and specificity of expression of the gene encoding the low molecular weight human salivary mucin (MUC7). (409 citations)
  • Periodontal Therapy in Humans: I. Microbiological and Clinical Effects of a Single Course of Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing, and of Adjunctive Tetracycline Therapy (306 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Saliva, Mucin, Microbiology and Molecular biology. Biochemistry connects with themes related to Chromatography in his study. His work deals with themes such as Adhesion, Calcium, Dentistry and Glycoprotein, which intersect with Saliva.

Michael J. Levine works mostly in the field of Mucin, limiting it down to topics relating to Fucose and, in certain cases, Sialic acid. His Microbiology research includes elements of Streptococcus mutans, Lipopolysaccharide, Bacteroides and Streptococcus. His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Papain, Mutant, Complementary DNA, Molecular cloning and Antibody.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (43.21%)
  • Saliva (33.33%)
  • Mucin (18.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1994-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (43.21%)
  • Stereochemistry (9.26%)
  • Circular dichroism (10.49%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Circular dichroism, Peptide and Saliva. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology and Candida albicans as well as Biochemistry. His Stereochemistry research incorporates themes from Peptide sequence and Glycosylation.

His work carried out in the field of Circular dichroism brings together such families of science as Protein structure, Proton NMR and Protein secondary structure. In his papers, Michael J. Levine integrates diverse fields, such as Saliva and Statistical analysis. His Amylase research includes themes of Adhesion and Streptococcus gordonii.

Between 1994 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Structure of Human Salivary α-Amylase at 1.6 Å Resolution: Implications for its Role in the Oral Cavity (178 citations)
  • The salivary mucin MG1 (MUC5B) carries a repertoire of unique oligosaccharides that is large and diverse (107 citations)
  • Salivary Amylase Promotes Adhesion of Oral Streptococci to Hydroxyapatite (100 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Saliva, Histatin, Random coil and Proton NMR. All of his Biochemistry and Mucin, MUC1 and TE buffer investigations are sub-components of the entire Biochemistry study. His Mucin research incorporates elements of Epitope, Fucose, Salivary gland and Monosaccharide.

His research investigates the connection between Saliva and topics such as Amylase that intersect with issues in Calcium, Histidine, Digestion and Hydrolysis. In his work, Adhesion is strongly intertwined with Antibacterial agent, which is a subfield of Histatin. His study on Random coil also encompasses disciplines like

  • Serine, Glycosylation, Amide and Hydrogen bond most often made with reference to Peptide,
  • Threonine which is related to area like Stereochemistry.
