Awards & Achievements

2010 - Gregori Aminoff Prize, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for his seminal crystallographic studies of membrane proteins. Using state-of-the-art crystallographic methods, he has elucidated vital biological functions within the fields of cellular respiration, photosynthesis and molecular transport

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His primary scientific interests are in Protein structure, Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Crystallography and Transport protein. His study in Protein structure is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oxidoreductase, Membrane transport protein, Membrane protein, Transmembrane domain and Cytochrome. His Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Membrane transport, Proteolytic enzymes, Ion transporter, Escherichia coli and Lactose permease.

His Crystallography study incorporates themes from Structural biology, Photosystem II and Femtosecond. His research integrates issues of Conformational change, Thermus thermophilus and Electrochemical gradient in his study of Transport protein. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ubiquinol oxidase and Quinone binding.

His most cited work include:

  • Architecture of the Photosynthetic Oxygen-Evolving Center (2679 citations)
  • Structure at 2.8 Å resolution of cytochrome c oxidase from Paracoccus denitrificans (1657 citations)
  • Structure and mechanism of the lactose permease of Escherichia coli (1219 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Crystallography, Stereochemistry, Biophysics and Protein structure are his primary areas of study. His Crystallography research incorporates elements of X-ray crystallography, Crystallization and Femtosecond. As a part of the same scientific study, So Iwata usually deals with the Stereochemistry, concentrating on Membrane transport protein and frequently concerns with Membrane transport.

His work carried out in the field of Biophysics brings together such families of science as Membrane, G protein-coupled receptor, Crystal structure and Thermus thermophilus. So Iwata has researched Protein structure in several fields, including Plasma protein binding and Binding site. His Membrane protein research incorporates themes from Structural biology and Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (36.44%)
  • Crystallography (30.14%)
  • Stereochemistry (20.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Biophysics (15.62%)
  • Femtosecond (11.78%)
  • Receptor (10.68%)

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

So Iwata spends much of his time researching Biophysics, Femtosecond, Receptor, G protein-coupled receptor and Crystallography. The Femtosecond study combines topics in areas such as Structural biology, Photochemistry, Retinal and Isomerization. His Receptor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pharmacology and Cell biology.

His studies deal with areas such as Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Ligand, Computational biology, Allosteric regulation and Binding site as well as G protein-coupled receptor. So Iwata does research in Crystallography, focusing on Protein crystallization specifically. He has included themes like Protein structure and Plasma protein binding in his Amino acid study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Retinal isomerization in bacteriorhodopsin captured by a femtosecond x-ray laser (116 citations)
  • Structures of the 5-HT2A receptor in complex with the antipsychotics risperidone and zotepin (46 citations)
  • Ligand binding to human prostaglandin E receptor EP4at the lipid-bilayer interface. (35 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

His main research concerns Biophysics, Receptor, G protein-coupled receptor, Protein structure and Femtosecond. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Antiporters, Antiporter, Binding domain, Chromophore and Signal transduction. The study incorporates disciplines such as Docking, Serine and Binding site in addition to Receptor.

So Iwata focuses mostly in the field of G protein-coupled receptor, narrowing it down to topics relating to Allosteric regulation and, in certain cases, Angiotensin receptor, Angiotensin II and Lipid bilayer. While working on this project, So Iwata studies both Protein structure and Structure based. His Femtosecond research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Crystallography, Structural biology and Photochemistry.
