Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Photosynthesis

Murray R. Badger mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Carboxysome, RuBisCO and Cyanobacteria. The subject of his Photosynthesis research is within the realm of Botany. As a part of the same scientific family, Murray R. Badger mostly works in the field of Biochemistry, focusing on Biophysics and, on occasion, Photoprotection.

His Carboxysome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Insertional mutagenesis and Mutant. His RuBisCO study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pyrenoid and Carbon fixation. His research in Cyanobacteria intersects with topics in Adaptation, Bacterial microcompartment, Ribulose and Function.

His most cited work include:

  • The Role of Carbonic Anhydrase in Photosynthesis (612 citations)
  • CO2 concentrating mechanisms in cyanobacteria: molecular components, their diversity and evolution (602 citations)
  • Photoprotection in plants: a new light on photosystem II damage (586 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, RuBisCO, Botany and Cyanobacteria. His work deals with themes such as Biophysics, Chloroplast, Carbon dioxide and Algae, which intersect with Photosynthesis. Biochemistry is closely attributed to Synechococcus in his work.

His RuBisCO research incorporates themes from Enzyme assay, Pyrenoid, Nicotiana tabacum, Carboxylation and Substrate. His study on Photoinhibition, Chlorophyll, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Mehler reaction is often connected to Mechanism as part of broader study in Botany. His Cyanobacteria research integrates issues from Total inorganic carbon, Gene and Function.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (59.05%)
  • Biochemistry (50.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (59.05%)
  • RuBisCO (37.14%)
  • Biochemistry (50.00%)

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

Murray R. Badger spends much of his time researching Photosynthesis, RuBisCO, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Carboxysome. Murray R. Badger usually deals with Photosynthesis and limits it to topics linked to Chloroplast and Enzyme. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Arabidopsis thaliana and Carbon fixation.

In his research on the topic of Carbon fixation, Pyrenoid is strongly related with Carbonic anhydrase. Murray R. Badger works mostly in the field of Biochemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Synechococcus and, in certain cases, Cytosol, as a part of the same area of interest. His Carboxysome study improves the overall literature in Cyanobacteria.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Functions, Compositions, and Evolution of the Two Types of Carboxysomes: Polyhedral Microcompartments That Facilitate CO2 Fixation in Cyanobacteria and Some Proteobacteria (207 citations)
  • The cyanobacterial CCM as a source of genes for improving photosynthetic CO2 fixation in crop species (128 citations)
  • Artificial remodelling of alternative electron flow by flavodiiron proteins in Arabidopsis. (109 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Photosynthesis

His primary areas of investigation include Photosynthesis, RuBisCO, Biochemistry, Carboxysome and Cyanobacteria. His study looks at the relationship between Photosynthesis and topics such as Chloroplast, which overlap with Botany. His work on Biochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Synechococcus.

His Synechococcus research focuses on subjects like Mutant, which are linked to Biophysics. In most of his Cyanobacteria studies, his work intersects topics such as Bacterial microcompartment. His Pyruvate carboxylase study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Oxygenase, Carbonic anhydrase, Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum.
