Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Biochemistry, Amyloid, Fungal prion and RNA are his primary areas of study. His study looks at the intersection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and topics like Mutation with PrPSc Proteins. In Biochemistry, Reed B. Wickner works on issues like Biophysics, which are connected to Circular dichroism.

His research integrates issues of Fibril, Crystallography, Peptide sequence and Protein structure, Beta sheet in his study of Amyloid. His research integrates issues of Plasmid, Nucleic acid, Fungal protein and Ure2 in his study of Fungal prion. The RNA study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Replicon and Viral replication.

His most cited work include:

  • [URE3] as an altered URE2 protein: evidence for a prion analog in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (1054 citations)
  • Prion-inducing domain of yeast Ure2p and protease resistance of Ure2p in prion-containing cells. (314 citations)
  • A -1 ribosomal frameshift in a double-stranded RNA virus of yeast forms a gag-pol fusion protein. (258 citations)

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

Reed B. Wickner mainly investigates Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Genetics, Biochemistry, Yeast and RNA. The concepts of his Saccharomyces cerevisiae study are interwoven with issues in Peptide sequence and Amyloid. His work on Biochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Biophysics.

His Yeast research incorporates elements of Nucleic acid, Chaperone, Function and Virology. His RNA research incorporates themes from Molecular biology and Cell biology. His Fungal prion research integrates issues from Podospora anserina and Asparagine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (43.15%)
  • Genetics (35.68%)
  • Biochemistry (32.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Yeast (29.88%)
  • Amyloid (26.14%)
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (43.15%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Yeast, Amyloid, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Genetics and Biochemistry. His primary area of study in Yeast is in the field of Fungal prion. As a part of the same scientific study, Reed B. Wickner usually deals with the Fungal prion, concentrating on Saccharomyces and frequently concerns with Conserved sequence.

His Amyloid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Protein structure, Beta sheet, Podospora anserina and Cell biology. Reed B. Wickner combines subjects such as Catabolism, Plasmid, Mitosis and Candida albicans with his study of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. His research in Biochemistry tackles topics such as Biophysics which are related to areas like Zebrafish.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular Structures of Amyloid and Prion Fibrils: Consensus versus Controversy (207 citations)
  • Suicidal [PSI+] is a lethal yeast prion. (152 citations)
  • Structural Insights into Functional and Pathological Amyloid (122 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Amyloid, Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Biochemistry and Fungal prion. His work investigates the relationship between Amyloid and topics such as Beta sheet that intersect with problems in Biophysics and Recombinant DNA. His Yeast study is associated with Genetics.

He has researched Saccharomyces cerevisiae in several fields, including Heat shock protein, Cell growth, Aggresome, Catabolism and Peptide sequence. Reed B. Wickner interconnects Alzheimer's disease and Neuroscience in the investigation of issues within Biochemistry. Reed B. Wickner has included themes like Protein aggregation, Amyloid disease, DNA, Hsp70 and Fungal protein in his Fungal prion study.
