Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Octavio L. Franco mostly deals with Antimicrobial peptides, Antimicrobial, Biochemistry, Antibiotics and Microbiology. His Antimicrobial peptides research integrates issues from Innate immune system, Computational biology and Human disease. Octavio L. Franco combines subjects such as Human morbidity, Bioinformatics, Treatment outcome, Biotechnology and Peptide drug with his study of Antimicrobial.

Many of his research projects under Antibiotics are closely connected to Phage therapy with Phage therapy, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work on Antibiotic resistance as part of his general Microbiology study is frequently connected to Context, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Peptide research includes themes of Amino acid, Peptide sequence, In vitro and In vivo.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant α‐amylase inhibitors and their interaction with insect α‐amylases (385 citations)
  • Plant α‐amylase inhibitors and their interaction with insect α‐amylases (385 citations)
  • Activity of wheat α‐amylase inhibitors towards bruchid α‐amylases and structural explanation of observed specificities (186 citations)

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

Antimicrobial peptides, Antimicrobial, Microbiology, Biochemistry and Peptide are his primary areas of study. His research investigates the connection between Antimicrobial peptides and topics such as Computational biology that intersect with issues in Proteomics. His Antimicrobial research incorporates themes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Antibacterial activity, In silico and In vivo.

His research investigates the connection with Microbiology and areas like Bacteria which intersect with concerns in Gram-negative bacteria. His study in Enzyme, Peptide sequence, Trypsin, Trypsin inhibitor and In vitro falls within the category of Biochemistry. His Peptide study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Membrane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Antimicrobial peptides (64.46%)
  • Antimicrobial (60.08%)
  • Microbiology (54.02%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Antimicrobial (60.08%)
  • Antimicrobial peptides (64.46%)
  • Microbiology (54.02%)

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

His main research concerns Antimicrobial, Antimicrobial peptides, Microbiology, Peptide and Biochemistry. His studies in Antimicrobial integrate themes in fields like Multiple drug resistance, Venom, Antibacterial activity, Intracellular and Cytotoxicity. To a larger extent, Octavio L. Franco studies Bacteria with the aim of understanding Antimicrobial peptides.

His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Enterococcus faecalis and Biofilm. His Peptide research includes elements of Cancer research, DNA methylation, Rational design, Yeast and In vivo. His Enzyme and Proteome study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biochemistry, is frequently linked to Platelet activation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Computer-Aided Design of Antimicrobial Peptides: Are We Generating Effective Drug Candidates? (27 citations)
  • Nanofibers as drug-delivery systems for infection control in dentistry (9 citations)
  • Nanofibers as drug-delivery systems for infection control in dentistry (9 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Microbiology, Antimicrobial peptides, Antibiotic resistance, Antibiotics and Antimicrobial. Octavio L. Franco has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Collagen gel, Wound care and Intensive care. His Antimicrobial peptides study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sericulture, Bombyx mori, Computational biology and Immune defense.

His study in Antibiotic resistance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Synthetic biology and Recombinant DNA, Heterologous expression. His study on Antibiotics also encompasses disciplines like

  • Biofilm which intersects with area such as Extracellular polysaccharide, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Virulence factor,
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacteria most often made with reference to Virulence. His studies deal with areas such as Microbial interaction, Gut flora, Venom and Peptide as well as Antimicrobial.
