Pedro Cuatrecasas mainly investigates Biochemistry, Receptor, Insulin, Binding site and Insulin receptor.
Biochemistry is a component of his Phospholipase C, Protein kinase C, Arachidonic acid, Phospholipase A2 and Phosphorylation studies.
His Receptor study incorporates themes from Molecular biology, Wheat germ agglutinin, Cholera toxin and Vibrio cholerae.
His Insulin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Affinity label and Cell membrane.
Pedro Cuatrecasas has included themes like Plasma protein binding, Enkephalin, Molecular mass, Hormone and Cytotoxicity in his Binding site study.
His work on Insulin receptor substrate as part of general Insulin receptor study is frequently connected to Interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His most cited work include:
- [31] Affinity chromatography (1433 citations)
- Selective enzyme purification by affinity chromatography (891 citations)
- Immunohistochemical localization of enkephalin in rat brain and spinal cord. (761 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Pedro Cuatrecasas focuses on Biochemistry, Receptor, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Insulin.
His studies in Enzyme, Cyclase, Arachidonic acid, Adenylate kinase and Membrane are all subfields of Biochemistry research.
His study on Arachidonic acid also encompasses disciplines like
- Phosphatidic acid which connect with Phospholipase A2, Thrombin and Platelet,
- Phospholipase, which have a strong connection to Diacylglycerol kinase.
His study in Receptor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Insulin receptor, Binding site and Cell biology.
His work deals with themes such as Concanavalin A and Affinity chromatography, which intersect with Insulin receptor.
His studies deal with areas such as Cell surface receptor, Internalization, Calmodulin and Cell membrane as well as Cell biology.
