  • Ice binding (27.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Antifreeze protein (63.80%)
  • Biophysics (19.63%)
  • Bacterial adhesin (4.91%)

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

His main research concerns Antifreeze protein, Biophysics, Bacterial adhesin, Ice binding and Biofilm. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crystallography, Gene isoform and Antifreeze. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Protein structure, Calpain, Protease and Proteases.

His Bacterial adhesin research is within the category of Biochemistry. Peter L. Davies has researched Ice binding in several fields, including Astrobiology, Ecology and Growth control. His study explores the link between Biofilm and topics such as Vibrio cholerae that cross with problems in Peptide, Hemagglutination, Cholera and Colonization.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Structure of a 1.5-MDa adhesin that binds its Antarctic bacterium to diatoms and ice (48 citations)
  • An ice-binding and tandem beta-sandwich domain-containing protein in Shewanella frigidimarina is a potential new type of ice adhesin. (25 citations)
  • RTX Adhesins are Key Bacterial Surface Megaproteins in the Formation of Biofilms (22 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Peter L. Davies spends much of his time researching Antifreeze protein, Biophysics, Bacterial adhesin, Protein structure and Ice binding. His Antifreeze protein study is related to the wider topic of Biochemistry. Many of his research projects under Biochemistry are closely connected to Intein with Intein, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His research integrates issues of Protease inhibitor and Leupeptin in his study of Biophysics. His Bacterial adhesin research also works with subjects such as

  • Biofilm most often made with reference to Secretion,
  • Bacterial outer membrane that intertwine with fields like Periplasmic space and Cell biology. His Protein structure research includes elements of Fucose, Stereochemistry, Isothermal titration calorimetry and Binding site.
