Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Peter M. J. Burgers mainly focuses on DNA polymerase delta, DNA replication, DNA polymerase, DNA clamp and DNA polymerase II. DNA polymerase delta is closely attributed to Molecular biology in his research. His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Replication factor C and Proliferating cell nuclear antigen.

Peter M. J. Burgers usually deals with DNA polymerase and limits it to topics linked to Polymerase and Helicase. Peter M. J. Burgers interconnects DNA mismatch repair, DNA polymerase III holoenzyme and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within DNA clamp. Peter M. J. Burgers combines subjects such as Replication protein A and DNA polymerase I with his study of DNA polymerase II.

His most cited work include:

  • Crystal structure of the eukaryotic DNA polymerase processivity factor PCNA (775 citations)
  • Division of Labor at the Eukaryotic Replication Fork (374 citations)
  • Eukaryotic DNA polymerases: proposal for a revised nomenclature. (310 citations)

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

Peter M. J. Burgers spends much of his time researching DNA polymerase, DNA replication, Molecular biology, DNA polymerase delta and Biochemistry. His DNA polymerase research incorporates elements of Okazaki fragments, DNA polymerase II, Polymerase and DNA clamp. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including DNA polymerase mu, DNA polymerase I and Prokaryotic DNA replication.

His studies in DNA replication integrate themes in fields like Replication protein A, DNA repair and Cell biology. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Replication factor C, DNA, Proliferating cell nuclear antigen, Gene and dnaN. The DNA polymerase delta study combines topics in areas such as Nucleotide excision repair, DNA polymerase epsilon and DNA mismatch repair.

He most often published in these fields:

  • DNA polymerase (52.63%)
  • DNA replication (52.05%)
  • Molecular biology (49.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • DNA replication (52.05%)
  • DNA polymerase (52.63%)
  • Cell biology (28.07%)

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

His primary areas of study are DNA replication, DNA polymerase, Cell biology, Molecular biology and DNA. As part of his Biochemistry and Genetics and DNA replication studies, Peter M. J. Burgers is studying DNA replication. His DNA polymerase study combines topics in areas such as Biophysics, DNA polymerase delta, DNA polymerase II and REV1.

His DNA polymerase II research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in DNA clamp and Primase. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell cycle checkpoint, Mitochondrial DNA and DNA repair. His Molecular biology research includes elements of Replication protein A, HCCS and Mutant.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Eukaryotic DNA polymerases require an iron-sulfur cluster for the formation of active complexes (248 citations)
  • RNase H2-Initiated Ribonucleotide Excision Repair (225 citations)
  • Eukaryotic DNA Replication Fork. (194 citations)

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

  • DNA
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

DNA replication, DNA polymerase, Molecular biology, Processivity and Ribonucleotide excision repair are his primary areas of study. The various areas that Peter M. J. Burgers examines in his DNA replication study include DNA clamp, DNA repair, DNA polymerase II and Cell biology. His DNA clamp study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Okazaki fragments and Eukaryotic DNA replication.

His research in DNA polymerase is mostly concerned with Replisome. His research ties Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Molecular biology together. As part of one scientific family, Peter M. J. Burgers deals mainly with the area of Processivity, narrowing it down to issues related to the DNA polymerase delta, and often REV1.
