Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Bacteria, Coenzyme M, Stereochemistry and Cofactor. His Biochemistry study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Methanogenesis. His work deals with themes such as RNA, Formate, Ribosomal RNA, Microbiology and Environmental chemistry, which intersect with Bacteria.

His research in Stereochemistry intersects with topics in Acetogen, Acetobacterium, Sulfonate and Acetic acid. The concepts of his Cofactor study are interwoven with issues in Thiocarbonate, Thioether and Methanofuran. His Euryarchaeota research incorporates elements of Methanomicrobiales, Structure–activity relationship, Thioester, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and Methanobacteria.

His most cited work include:

  • Methanogens: reevaluation of a unique biological group. (2233 citations)
  • The phylogeny of prokaryotes (1197 citations)
  • Formation of Methane by Bacterial Extracts (1039 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Cofactor, Stereochemistry, Bacteria and Methanogenesis. His research in Enzyme, Methanobacterium, Methanobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli and Euryarchaeota are components of Biochemistry. His studies in Cofactor integrate themes in fields like Proton NMR, Biosynthesis, Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Coenzyme M and Derivative.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Organic chemistry, Phosphate, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, Methanosarcina barkeri and Methanofuran in addition to Stereochemistry. His Bacteria study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ribosomal RNA, Formate and Microbiology. He focuses mostly in the field of Methanogenesis, narrowing it down to topics relating to Substrate and, in certain cases, Tetrapyrrole.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (50.42%)
  • Cofactor (29.41%)
  • Stereochemistry (26.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1989-2014)?

  • Biochemistry (50.42%)
  • Cofactor (29.41%)
  • Stereochemistry (26.89%)

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

Ralph S. Wolfe mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Cofactor, Stereochemistry, Enzyme and Methanobacterium. His work on Divalent expands to the thematically related Biochemistry. His Cofactor study combines topics in areas such as Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Cell growth and Bacteria.

Ralph S. Wolfe mostly deals with Euryarchaeota in his studies of Bacteria. His Stereochemistry research includes themes of Methanogenesis, Substrate and Methanofuran. His Methanobacterium research incorporates themes from Amino acid, Organic chemistry and Reductase.

Between 1989 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • UNUSUAL COENZYMES OF METHANOGENESIS (387 citations)
  • A genetic system for Archaea of the genus Methanosarcina: Liposome-mediated transformation and construction of shuttle vectors (188 citations)
  • Molecular genetic analysis of phosphite and hypophosphite oxidation by Pseudomonas stutzeri WM88. (114 citations)
