Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Amino acid

His scientific interests lie mostly in Stereochemistry, Membrane, Organic chemistry, Peptide and Biophysics. His Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Phenylalanine, Tetracosapeptide, Hydrolysis, Trifluoroacetic acid and Acetic acid. His Membrane research includes elements of Crystallography and Phase.

As part of the same scientific family, Robert Schwyzer usually focuses on Organic chemistry, concentrating on Polymer chemistry and intersecting with Azide, Combinatorial chemistry and Reagent. Many of his research projects under Peptide are closely connected to Liquid ammonia with Liquid ammonia, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. The various areas that Robert Schwyzer examines in his Biophysics study include Agonist, Biochemistry and Opioid peptide.

His most cited work include:

  • ACTH: a short introductory review. (324 citations)
  • Molecular mechanism of opioid receptor selection (237 citations)
  • Zur Synthese von N‐t‐Butyloxycarbonyl‐aminosäuren (153 citations)

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

Robert Schwyzer spends much of his time researching Stereochemistry, Peptide, Membrane, Biochemistry and Receptor. He does research in Stereochemistry, focusing on Steric effects specifically. His Peptide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agonist, Bicyclic molecule, Organic chemistry and Circular dichroism.

His Membrane research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biophysics and Analytical chemistry. When carried out as part of a general Biochemistry research project, his work on Cell membrane is frequently linked to work in Renin–angiotensin system, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. In his work, Derivative is strongly intertwined with Biological activity, which is a subfield of Receptor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (62.08%)
  • Peptide (14.58%)
  • Membrane (13.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1980-2009)?

  • Membrane (13.75%)
  • Stereochemistry (62.08%)
  • Biochemistry (13.33%)

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

Robert Schwyzer mainly focuses on Membrane, Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Peptide. His Membrane study deals with Crystallography intersecting with Infrared spectroscopy. His work in the fields of Stereochemistry, such as Steric effects, overlaps with other areas such as Side chain.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Catalysis, Tachykinin receptor and Biological membrane. His study in Peptide is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agonist, Receptor, Opioid and Molecular recognition.

Between 1980 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular mechanism of opioid receptor selection (237 citations)
  • Estimated conformation, orientation, and accumulation of dynorphin A-(1-13)-tridecapeptide on the surface of neutral lipid membranes. (123 citations)
  • Conformational changes of adrenocorticotropin peptides upon interaction with lipid membranes revealed by infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. (120 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid
  • Biochemistry

Robert Schwyzer mainly investigates Membrane, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Stereochemistry and Peptide. Robert Schwyzer focuses mostly in the field of Membrane, narrowing it down to topics relating to Crystallography and, in certain cases, Infrared spectroscopy. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Biophysics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Agonist, and often Pharmacology and Compartment.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Cell membrane, Protein structure are connected with Receptor, Structure–activity relationship and Molecule and other disciplines. His Bilayer study incorporates themes from Attenuated total reflection, Helix, Electric dipole moment and Analytical chemistry. Robert Schwyzer has included themes like Biological activity, In vitro, Protein kinase A, Enkephalin and Adrenocorticotropic hormone in his Opioid peptide study.
