Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Paul Primakoff mainly investigates Sperm, ADAM3, Sperm-Ovum Interactions, ADAM Proteins and Lipid bilayer fusion. His research in Sperm intersects with topics in Molecular biology, Human fertilization, Zona pellucida and Cell biology. His Membrane protein research extends to the thematically linked field of Molecular biology.

Paul Primakoff has researched Zona pellucida in several fields, including Acrosome, Antibody, Immunology, Antigen and Acrosome reaction. Part of his project on ADAM Proteins includes research on Biochemistry and Disintegrin. His work is dedicated to discovering how Lipid bilayer fusion, Protein subunit are connected with Integrin binding, Peptide sequence, Binding site, Receptor and Integrin and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • A potential fusion peptide and an integrin ligand domain in a protein active in sperm-egg fusion. (614 citations)
  • The ADAM gene family: surface proteins with adhesion and protease activity. (534 citations)
  • Fertilization Defects in Sperm from Mice Lacking Fertilin β (462 citations)

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

Paul Primakoff mainly investigates Sperm, Cell biology, Molecular biology, Zona pellucida and Biochemistry. His Sperm research incorporates themes from Sperm-Ovum Interactions and Antibody, Immunology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetics, Cell membrane, Gamete, ADAM3 and Membrane protein.

His ADAM3 research includes elements of Lipid bilayer fusion, Plasma membrane fusion, Wild type, ADAM Proteins and Spermatogenesis. As a part of the same scientific family, Paul Primakoff mostly works in the field of Molecular biology, focusing on Monoclonal antibody and, on occasion, Molecular mass and Hamster. His research in Zona pellucida tackles topics such as Human fertilization which are related to areas like Egg protein.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sperm (68.00%)
  • Cell biology (36.00%)
  • Molecular biology (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2011)?

  • Cell biology (36.00%)
  • Sperm (68.00%)
  • Gamete (17.33%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Sperm, Gamete, Membrane protein and Sperm-Ovum Interactions. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Membrane, Cell membrane, Zona pellucida and Human fertilization. His studies in Sperm integrate themes in fields like ADAM3, Fusion protein and Actin.

His work deals with themes such as Acrosome reaction, Tetraspanin and Gene, which intersect with Gamete. His Membrane protein study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RNA, Molecular biology, Trefoil domain and Transmembrane protein. His Sperm-Ovum Interactions research includes themes of Wild type, Membrane glycoproteins, ANTIGENS CD and Insemination.

Between 2003 and 2011, his most popular works were:

  • Oocyte CD9 is enriched on the microvillar membrane and required for normal microvillar shape and distribution (151 citations)
  • A Role for Sperm Surface Protein Disulfide Isomerase Activity in Gamete Fusion: Evidence for the Participation of ERp57 (113 citations)
  • Proteomic analysis of sperm regions that mediate sperm-egg interactions (106 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Sperm, Cell biology, Sperm-Ovum Interactions, Radius of curvature and Membrane. His Sperm study combines topics in areas such as Protein disulfide-isomerase and Membrane protein. His research integrates issues of Isomerase, Acrosome reaction, Gamete and Somatic cell in his study of Protein disulfide-isomerase.

His studies link Heat shock protein with Somatic cell. Paul Primakoff has included themes like Proteome, Acrosome, Zona pellucida and Human fertilization in his Membrane protein study. Radius of curvature combines with fields such as Latrunculin, Fusion protein and Actin in his work.
