Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • DNA
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Enzyme, Dihydrofolate reductase and Catalysis. His studies in Stereochemistry integrate themes in fields like Protein structure, Catalytic cycle, Substrate and Active site. The Biochemistry study combines topics in areas such as DNA clamp and DNA polymerase I.

His studies deal with areas such as Phenylalanine hydroxylase, Protein secondary structure and Bacteroides fragilis as well as Enzyme. He combines subjects such as Enzyme catalysis, Hydride, Mutant and Cofactor with his study of Dihydrofolate reductase. His work investigates the relationship between Polymerase and topics such as Molecular biology that intersect with problems in Bacteriophage.

His most cited work include:

  • Generation of a large combinatorial library of the immunoglobulin repertoire in phage lambda (1722 citations)
  • Assembly of combinatorial antibody libraries on phage surfaces: the gene III site. (1386 citations)
  • A Perspective on Enzyme Catalysis (828 citations)

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

Stephen J. Benkovic spends much of his time researching Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Enzyme, Catalysis and Molecular biology. Stephen J. Benkovic studied Stereochemistry and Dihydrofolate reductase that intersect with Protein structure, Mutant and Enzyme catalysis. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to DNA clamp under Biochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Biophysics, DNA polymerase delta and Primase.

As part of his studies on Enzyme, he often connects relevant subjects like Escherichia coli. His Catalysis study incorporates themes from Combinatorial chemistry, Hydrolysis and Antibody. The study incorporates disciplines such as DNA polymerase II and DNA polymerase I in addition to DNA polymerase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (36.68%)
  • Biochemistry (34.73%)
  • Enzyme (24.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (34.73%)
  • DNA replication (10.04%)
  • Cell biology (6.69%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, DNA replication, Cell biology, DNA clamp and Biophysics. Biochemistry and DNA polymerase I are commonly linked in his work. The concepts of his DNA replication study are interwoven with issues in Molecular biology, DNA repair and Helicase.

His DNA clamp research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Polymerase, DNA polymerase delta, DNA polymerase, DNA polymerase II and Proliferating cell nuclear antigen. His research integrates issues of Catalytic cycle, Replication factor C and DNA, A-DNA in his study of Biophysics. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Enzyme catalysis, Stereochemistry is strongly linked to Molecular dynamics.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • On-chip manipulation of single microparticles, cells, and organisms using surface acoustic waves (516 citations)
  • A dynamic knockout reveals that conformational fluctuations influence the chemical step of enzyme catalysis (334 citations)
  • Replication Clamps and Clamp Loaders (242 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • DNA
  • Gene

Stephen J. Benkovic focuses on Biochemistry, Biophysics, Stereochemistry, Dihydrofolate reductase and Purinosome. Nucleotide and Cyclic peptide are subfields of Biochemistry in which his conducts study. His Biophysics research also works with subjects such as

  • DNA clamp most often made with reference to DNA,
  • Processivity which connect with Primosome and Primase,
  • Adenylosuccinate lyase most often made with reference to Molecular biology.

Stephen J. Benkovic has included themes like Side chain, Enzyme catalysis, Catalysis and Amino acid in his Stereochemistry study. His Dihydrofolate reductase study is concerned with the field of Enzyme as a whole. His Enzyme research includes themes of Cascade and Chemotaxis.
