Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Enzyme, Enzymatic synthesis, Polynucleotide and Stereochemistry. His work in Metabolism, Phosphorylation, Oxidation reduction, Nucleotide and Malic enzyme are all subfields of Biochemistry research. His Enzyme study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lipid metabolism and Azotobacter.

His Enzymatic synthesis research incorporates themes from Nucleic acid and Citric acid. While the research belongs to areas of Polynucleotide, he spends his time largely on the problem of Amino acid, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Tobacco mosaic virus and Peptide sequence. His Stereochemistry research includes elements of Acetyl-CoA, eIF2, Guanosine diphosphate and GTP', GDP binding.

His most cited work include:

  • [123] Malic dehydrogenase from pig heart: l-Malate + DPN + ⇆ Oxalacetate + DPNH + H+ (437 citations)
  • The enzymatic mechanism of oxidation-reductions between malate or isocitrate and pyruvate. (377 citations)
  • Enzymatic phosphorylation of acetate. (339 citations)

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

Severo Ochoa focuses on Biochemistry, Initiation factor, Enzyme, RNA and Protein biosynthesis. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Molecular biology and Biochemistry. Severo Ochoa has included themes like Translation and Messenger RNA in his Molecular biology study.

His research integrates issues of Ribosomal RNA, Eukaryotic Small Ribosomal Subunit, GTP' and Eukaryotic initiation factor in his study of Initiation factor. His study looks at the intersection of RNA and topics like Escherichia coli with Transfer RNA. His Metabolism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Propionates and Cofactor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (70.87%)
  • Initiation factor (18.11%)
  • Enzyme (16.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1975-2016)?

  • Biochemistry (70.87%)
  • Phosphorylation (13.39%)
  • Protein biosynthesis (13.78%)

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

Biochemistry, Phosphorylation, Protein biosynthesis, Initiation factor and Reticulocyte are his primary areas of study. His works in Protein kinase A, Heme, Hemin, Protein subunit and GTP' are all subjects of inquiry into Biochemistry. He combines subjects such as Ternary complex, Kinase and G alpha subunit with his study of Phosphorylation.

The various areas that Severo Ochoa examines in his Protein biosynthesis study include Prokaryotic initiation factor and Cell biology. His Initiation factor study combines topics in areas such as Translational regulation, Eukaryotic Small Ribosomal Subunit, eIF2 and Eukaryotic initiation factor. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Molecular biology, Ribosomal RNA, Messenger RNA and Oligonucleotide is strongly linked to RNA.

Between 1975 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Regulation of protein synthesis initiation in eucaryotes (192 citations)
  • Regulation of protein synthesis in eukaryotes. (171 citations)
  • Soluble factors required for eukaryotic protein synthesis. (156 citations)
