Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Peter Overath focuses on Biochemistry, Glycoprotein, Trypanosoma brucei, Molecular biology and Endocytosis. His research integrates issues of Lipophosphoglycan and Leishmania in his study of Biochemistry. His N-linked glycosylation study in the realm of Glycoprotein connects with subjects such as Tunicamycin.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Asparagine, Protozoa, Citric acid cycle and Methionine in addition to Trypanosoma brucei. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Plasmid, Peptide sequence, Gene, lac operon and Membrane protein. Within one scientific family, Peter Overath focuses on topics pertaining to Cell biology under Endocytosis, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Exocytosis and Antibody.

His most cited work include:

  • Hydrodynamic Flow-Mediated Protein Sorting on the Cell Surface of Trypanosomes (280 citations)
  • Fatty Acid Degradation in Escherichia coli (267 citations)
  • Lactose Carrier Protein of Escherichia coli Structure and Expression of Plasmids Carrying the Y Gene of the lac Operon (201 citations)

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

Peter Overath mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Trypanosoma brucei, Molecular biology, Glycoprotein and Leishmania mexicana. His work deals with themes such as Transferrin, In vitro, Gene expression, Cell biology and Transformation, which intersect with Trypanosoma brucei. His Cell biology research includes themes of Exocytosis, Receptor, Endocytosis and Glycoprotein synthesis.

His studies examine the connections between Molecular biology and genetics, as well as such issues in lac operon, with regards to Lactose permease. His Glycoprotein research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Messenger RNA and Antigenic variation. His Leishmania mexicana study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Leishmania major, Lipophosphoglycan, Amastigote and Antigen.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (52.14%)
  • Trypanosoma brucei (29.91%)
  • Molecular biology (23.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2014)?

  • Cell biology (18.80%)
  • Exocytosis (7.69%)
  • Endosome (5.98%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Exocytosis, Endosome, Endocytosis and Trypanosoma brucei. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genome, Immunology and Genotype. His Exocytosis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Golgi apparatus and Vesicle, Clathrin.

His work in Endosome addresses issues such as Membrane protein, which are connected to fields such as Cytosol and Peptide sequence. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Endocytosis, concentrating on Lysosome and intersecting with Transmembrane protein and Receptor-mediated endocytosis. His Trypanosoma brucei research includes themes of Immune system and Glycoprotein.

Between 1999 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Hydrodynamic Flow-Mediated Protein Sorting on the Cell Surface of Trypanosomes (280 citations)
  • Fatty Acid Degradation in Escherichia coli (267 citations)
  • Kinetics of endocytosis and recycling of the GPI-anchored variant surface glycoprotein in Trypanosoma brucei. (167 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Peter Overath mostly deals with Cell biology, Endocytosis, Endosome, Exocytosis and Glycoprotein. His Endosome research includes elements of Vesicle, Clathrin, Glycosylphosphatidylinositol and Lipid microdomain. His work deals with themes such as Golgi apparatus, Cell, Endocytic cycle and Lysosome, which intersect with Exocytosis.

His Glycoprotein research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Trypanosoma brucei, Antibody, Immune system, Antigenic variation and Motility. His work on Actin expands to the thematically related Trypanosoma brucei.
