Ronald Wetzel spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Fibril, Peptide, Amyloid and Protein structure. His research ties Host and Biochemistry together. The various areas that Ronald Wetzel examines in his Fibril study include Crystallography, Globular protein, Polymorphism and Beta sheet.

His Peptide research incorporates elements of Folding, Biophysics, Proteolysis and Trypsin. His research in Amyloid focuses on subjects like P3 peptide, which are connected to Amide. His Anti cd20 antibody study in the realm of Antibody interacts with subjects such as Anti ngf and Anti tnf alpha.

His most cited work include:

  • Recombinant immunoglobin preparations (5873 citations)
  • Recombinant immunoglobulin preparations, methods for their preparation, DNA sequences, expression vectors and recombinant host cells therefor (917 citations)
  • Huntington's disease age-of-onset linked to polyglutamine aggregation nucleation (435 citations)

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

Ronald Wetzel spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Biophysics, Amyloid, Fibril and Peptide. His work carried out in the field of Biophysics brings together such families of science as Guanidine, Protein folding, Mass spectrometry, Protein structure and Protein engineering. The concepts of his Amyloid study are interwoven with issues in P3 peptide and Oligomer.

His research investigates the connection between Fibril and topics such as Crystallography that intersect with issues in Sequence. Ronald Wetzel has included themes like Amino acid, Side chain, Chromatography and Stereochemistry in his Peptide study. His work investigates the relationship between Recombinant DNA and topics such as Immunoglobulin light chain that intersect with problems in Molecular biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (41.67%)
  • Biophysics (27.19%)
  • Amyloid (23.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (41.67%)
  • Amyloid (23.68%)
  • Huntingtin (12.72%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Amyloid, Huntingtin, Biophysics and Fibril. His study in Computational biology extends to Biochemistry with its themes. His Amyloid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endocrinology, Protein engineering and Tetramer.

His Huntingtin research incorporates themes from Cell biology, N-terminus and Exon. Ronald Wetzel interconnects Huntingtin Protein, Helix, Oligomer and Nucleation in the investigation of issues within Biophysics. His Fibril research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Antiparallel, Protein secondary structure, Crystallography, Circular dichroism and Protein structure.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Aβ(1–40) forms five distinct amyloid structures whose β-sheet contents and fibril stabilities are correlated (177 citations)
  • Aβ(1–40) forms five distinct amyloid structures whose β-sheet contents and fibril stabilities are correlated (177 citations)
  • Critical nucleus size for disease-related polyglutamine aggregation is repeat-length dependent (155 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Ronald Wetzel mostly deals with Biochemistry, Fibril, Amyloid, Biophysics and Huntingtin. He studies Biochemistry, focusing on Protein aggregation in particular. His research in Fibril intersects with topics in Protein structure, Antiparallel, Crystallography and In vitro.

The Amyloid study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, P3 peptide, Amyloid precursor protein and Immunology. He combines topics linked to Peptide sequence with his work on Biophysics. His work in Huntingtin addresses issues such as Peptide, which are connected to fields such as Oligomer.
