2002 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Pyrococcus furiosus, Hydrogenase, Ferredoxin and Stereochemistry. His research links Yield with Biochemistry. His studies in Pyrococcus furiosus integrate themes in fields like Oxidoreductase, Crystallography, Rubredoxin and Cofactor.

Michael W. W. Adams usually deals with Hydrogenase and limits it to topics linked to Fermentation and Maltose. His Ferredoxin study incorporates themes from Electron paramagnetic resonance, Electron donor and Electron acceptor. His study in Stereochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inorganic chemistry, Protein subunit, Homotetramer, Photochemistry and Peptide sequence.

His most cited work include:

  • The structure and mechanism of iron-hydrogenases (639 citations)
  • High-fidelity amplification using a thermostable DNA polymerase isolated from Pyrococcus furiosus (560 citations)
  • Robust, high-throughput solution structural analyses by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) (461 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Pyrococcus furiosus, Biochemistry, Ferredoxin, Crystallography and Hydrogenase. The Pyrococcus furiosus study combines topics in areas such as Hyperthermophile, Rubredoxin and Cofactor. His research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Bacteria.

The various areas that he examines in his Ferredoxin study include Thermococcus litoralis, Redox and Stereochemistry. His Crystallography research incorporates elements of Inorganic chemistry, Iron–sulfur cluster, Cluster, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Protein structure. He combines subjects such as Thermotoga maritima, Photochemistry, Sulfur and Active site with his study of Hydrogenase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pyrococcus furiosus (44.48%)
  • Biochemistry (43.29%)
  • Ferredoxin (20.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (43.29%)
  • Pyrococcus furiosus (44.48%)
  • Metabolic engineering (6.62%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Pyrococcus furiosus, Metabolic engineering, Hydrogenase and Caldicellulosiruptor bescii. His work in Enzyme, Ferredoxin, Oxidoreductase, Fermentation and Glycoside hydrolase is related to Biochemistry. His Pyrococcus furiosus research focuses on Hyperthermophile and how it relates to Thermococcus.

As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Metabolic engineering, focusing on Thermophile and, on occasion, Microorganism and Archaea. His Hydrogenase research incorporates themes from Electron transfer, Protein subunit, Stereochemistry and Active site. His Caldicellulosiruptor bescii research integrates issues from Biomass, Lignocellulosic biomass, Caldicellulosiruptor and Food science.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • [FeFe]- and [NiFe]-hydrogenase diversity, mechanism, and maturation (242 citations)
  • High-yield hydrogen production from biomass by in vitro metabolic engineering: Mixed sugars coutilization and kinetic modeling (138 citations)
  • High-yield hydrogen production from biomass by in vitro metabolic engineering: Mixed sugars coutilization and kinetic modeling (138 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
