Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

Stephen C. Fry mainly investigates Cell wall, Biochemistry, Xyloglucan, Xyloglucan:xyloglucosyl transferase and Polysaccharide. His Cell wall study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Ripening and Softening as well as Biochemistry.

His Xyloglucan research includes themes of Oligosaccharide, Glycosyltransferase, Fucose and Phylogenetics. His Polysaccharide study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Arabinose, Glucan, Stereochemistry and Galactose. He has researched Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase in several fields, including Biophysics, Auxin and DNA sequencing.

His most cited work include:

  • Cross-Linking of Matrix Polymers in the Growing Cell Walls of Angiosperms (1081 citations)
  • Structure and function of the primary cell walls of plants. (843 citations)
  • Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase, a new wall-loosening enzyme activity from plants. (707 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Cell wall, Xyloglucan, Polysaccharide and Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase. Stephen C. Fry connects Biochemistry with Xyloglucan:xyloglucosyl transferase in his study. His Cell wall study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole.

In his research, Auxin is intimately related to Cellulase, which falls under the overarching field of Xyloglucan. His work carried out in the field of Polysaccharide brings together such families of science as Arabinose, Ferulic acid, Galactose and Biosynthesis. His Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase research incorporates themes from Hydrolase and Arabidopsis thaliana.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (61.24%)
  • Cell wall (53.10%)
  • Xyloglucan (37.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (61.24%)
  • Cell wall (53.10%)
  • Xyloglucan (37.21%)

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

Stephen C. Fry mostly deals with Biochemistry, Cell wall, Xyloglucan, Polysaccharide and Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase. His work deals with themes such as Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Arabidopsis thaliana, Ripening and Chemical composition, which intersect with Cell wall. His Xyloglucan research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trisaccharide, Oligosaccharide and Hordeum vulgare.

His Polysaccharide research includes elements of Glycosidic bond, Secretion, Microbiology, Dimer and Gel electrophoresis. His biological study deals with issues like Bond cleavage, which deal with fields such as Stereochemistry. His Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glucanase, Pichia, Hydrolase and Equisetum.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biochemistry and physiological roles of enzymes that ‘cut and paste’ plant cell-wall polysaccharides (120 citations)
  • Glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides from Rosa cell cultures are boron‐bridged in the plasma membrane and form complexes with rhamnogalacturonan II (59 citations)
  • Boron bridging of rhamnogalacturonan‐II, monitored by gel electrophoresis, occurs during polysaccharide synthesis and secretion but not post‐secretion (42 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Cell wall, Polysaccharide, Xyloglucan and Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase. His Biochemistry study incorporates themes from Ripening and Oxalate. His study in Cell wall is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Softening, PEAR, Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Fungal protein and Pectate lyase.

The various areas that Stephen C. Fry examines in his Polysaccharide study include Ussing chamber, Salmonella enterica, Salmonella and Microbiology. Stephen C. Fry has included themes like Glucanase, Beta-glucan and Glycoside hydrolase in his Xyloglucan study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Callus, Mixed-linkage glucan, Shoot, Mixed-linkage glucan : Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase and Equisetum in addition to Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase.
