Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Sankar Mitra mainly focuses on Molecular biology, DNA repair, DNA glycosylase, Biochemistry and Base excision repair. Sankar Mitra interconnects Nucleic acid sequence, Regulation of gene expression, Gene, DNA and O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxidative stress, DNA damage, Endonuclease, Proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Mitochondrion.

His DNA glycosylase research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genome and Escherichia coli. His study looks at the relationship between Biochemistry and fields such as Biophysics, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His studies deal with areas such as DNA polymerase, Nucleotide excision repair and AP site as well as Base excision repair.

His most cited work include:

  • Oxidative Stress: An Essential Factor in the Pathogenesis of Gastrointestinal Mucosal Diseases (793 citations)
  • DNA-bound structures and mutants reveal abasic DNA binding by APE1 DNA repair and coordination (521 citations)
  • Early steps in the DNA base excision/single-strand interruption repair pathway in mammalian cells. (466 citations)

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

Sankar Mitra mostly deals with Molecular biology, DNA, Biochemistry, DNA repair and DNA glycosylase. His Molecular biology research focuses on subjects like DNA replication, which are linked to DNA polymerase delta and Replication protein A. His DNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mutation, Guanine and Recombinant DNA.

His DNA repair study incorporates themes from Oxidative stress, Acetylation, DNA damage, Apoptosis and Mitochondrion. Many of his studies on DNA glycosylase involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Base excision repair. The Base excision repair study combines topics in areas such as Nucleotide excision repair, Histone and Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (55.17%)
  • DNA (41.38%)
  • Biochemistry (34.17%)

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

  • Cell biology (24.14%)
  • DNA repair (36.36%)
  • DNA damage (21.94%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, DNA repair, DNA damage, Base excision repair and DNA glycosylase. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Chromatin, Genetics, Gene and DNA. His studies in DNA repair integrate themes in fields like Molecular biology and Genome instability.

He combines subjects such as Replication protein A, DNA polymerase delta, Regulation of gene expression, Mitochondrion and DNA replication with his study of Molecular biology. Sankar Mitra has included themes like Reactive oxygen species, Motor neuron, Senescence and In vitro in his DNA damage study. His Base excision repair study combines topics in areas such as Endonuclease, AP site and Histone.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Oxidative Stress: An Essential Factor in the Pathogenesis of Gastrointestinal Mucosal Diseases (793 citations)
  • Apoptosis Induced by Persistent Single-strand Breaks in Mitochondrial Genome CRITICAL ROLE OF EXOG (5′-EXO/ENDONUCLEASE) IN THEIR REPAIR (115 citations)
  • Oxidative genome damage and its repair: implications in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. (107 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Sankar Mitra focuses on DNA repair, DNA damage, DNA glycosylase, Base excision repair and Cell biology. His work deals with themes such as Molecular biology and Genome, which intersect with DNA repair. His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of AP endonuclease, AP site, Mitochondrial DNA, NEIL1 and Regulation of gene expression.

His DNA glycosylase study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Biochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Curcumin, Nucleotide excision repair, Metal toxicity and Endonuclease in addition to Base excision repair. His Cell biology research includes elements of Genetics, DNA and DNA End-Joining Repair.
