Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Metabolism

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Lipid metabolism, Enzyme, Fatty acid and Acyl carrier protein. While working on this project, Paul K. Stumpf studies both Biochemistry and Elongation. His Lipid metabolism research incorporates themes from Glucose oxidase and Ammonium sulfate.

His research in Enzyme intersects with topics in Thylakoid and Molecular biology. Paul K. Stumpf combines subjects such as Dihydroxyacetone phosphate and Acyltransferases with his study of Fatty acid. His Acyl carrier protein study combines topics in areas such as Acetyl-CoA, Chromatography and Fatty acid synthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • The Biochemistry of plants : a comprehensive treatise (815 citations)
  • Subcellular localization of acyl carrier protein in leaf protoplasts of Spinacia oleracea. (251 citations)
  • Specificities and Selectivities of Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferase and Monoacylglycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferase from Pea and Spinach Chloroplasts (235 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Lipid metabolism, Fatty acid, Enzyme and Spinach. His study in Biosynthesis, Metabolism, Oleic acid, Acyl carrier protein and Fatty acid synthesis falls under the purview of Biochemistry. His Acyl carrier protein research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Acetyl-CoA, Chromatography and Substrate.

His work deals with themes such as Food science and Citric acid cycle, which intersect with Lipid metabolism. While the research belongs to areas of Fatty acid, Paul K. Stumpf spends his time largely on the problem of Coenzyme A, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Fatty acid metabolism and Malonyl Coenzyme A. His studies deal with areas such as Transferase and Spinacia as well as Spinach.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (87.43%)
  • Lipid metabolism (29.34%)
  • Fatty acid (25.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1978-2016)?

  • Biochemistry (87.43%)
  • Enzyme (23.35%)
  • Spinach (16.77%)

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

Paul K. Stumpf mainly investigates Biochemistry, Enzyme, Spinach, Fatty acid and Metabolism. Paul K. Stumpf performs multidisciplinary study on Biochemistry and Elongation in his works. In the field of Enzyme, his study on Reductase, Acetyl-CoA carboxylase, Pyruvate carboxylase and Adenylate kinase overlaps with subjects such as Carthamus.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Subcellular localization, Acetyl—CoA synthetase, ATP synthase and Spinacia. The Fatty acid study combines topics in areas such as Stearic acid, Stereochemistry and Acyltransferases. As part of the same scientific family, Paul K. Stumpf usually focuses on Metabolism, concentrating on Lipid metabolism and intersecting with MEDLINE.

Between 1978 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • The Biochemistry of plants : a comprehensive treatise (815 citations)
  • Subcellular localization of acyl carrier protein in leaf protoplasts of Spinacia oleracea. (251 citations)
  • Specificities and Selectivities of Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferase and Monoacylglycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferase from Pea and Spinach Chloroplasts (235 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Metabolism

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Spinach, Enzyme, Spinacia and Fatty acid. Acyl carrier protein, Biosynthesis, Metabolism, Microsome and Substrate are among the areas of Biochemistry where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. Paul K. Stumpf interconnects Oleyl alcohol, Oleic acid, Chromatography, Fatty acid synthesis and Stearyl alcohol in the investigation of issues within Acyl carrier protein.

His study in Spinach is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Coenzyme A, Cystamine, ATP synthase, Mitochondrion and Organelle. His Spinacia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Acetyl—CoA synthetase, Chloroplast stroma, Compartment, Lysis and Subcellular localization. The concepts of his Fatty acid study are interwoven with issues in Dihydroxyacetone phosphate, Acyltransferase and Acyltransferases.
