Overview

Neil R. Cooper is affiliated with the Scripps Research Institute in the United States. Their recent research work includes studies published in specialized journals focusing on enzymology and catalysis.

Two notable papers authored by Cooper cover structural enzymology and enzyme catalysis:

  • Structural enzymology for the synthesis and functionalization of biopolymers, 2024, Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances
  • Structural and Functional Dissection of GH161 β-Glucan Phosphorylases: Molecular Specificities and Dynamics of Catalysis of Dimeric GH-Q Enzymes, 2025, ACS Catalysis

These papers reflect Cooper's involvement in elucidating enzyme structures and mechanisms, particularly in relation to biopolymer synthesis and the catalytic properties of glycoside hydrolases.

Cooper has collaborated with several researchers across different projects. Frequent coauthors include:

  • Gianluca Cioci
  • Claire Moulis
  • Magali Remaud-Siméon
  • Thibaud Laffargue
  • Simon Ladevèze

Publication venues associated with Cooper's work are:

  • Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances
  • ACS Catalysis

The research focus can be understood through these venues, indicating a concentration on the fields of structural biology, enzymology, and catalytic mechanisms. This aligns with the topics of enzyme structure-function relationships and molecular specificity in catalysis.
