Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Molecular biology, Biochemistry, Gene, Transcription factor and Regulation of gene expression. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Enhancer, Gene expression, Sp3 transcription factor, Complementary DNA and Gene isoform. Gene is a subfield of Genetics that Steven L. McKnight tackles.

His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, STAT4, Internal medicine and Cell biology in his study of Transcription factor. His Regulation of gene expression research focuses on Ccaat-enhancer-binding proteins and how it connects with Leucine zipper, Expression vector, Cellular differentiation, Northern blot and Adipogenesis. The various areas that Steven L. McKnight examines in his RNA study include Stress granule assembly, Biophysics, Transcription and Protein biosynthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • The leucine zipper: a hypothetical structure common to a new class of DNA binding proteins (2749 citations)
  • A Conserved Family of Prolyl-4-Hydroxylases That Modify HIF (2098 citations)
  • Regulated expression of three C/EBP isoforms during adipose conversion of 3T3-L1 cells. (1373 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Molecular biology, Biochemistry, Gene, Cell biology and Transcription factor. His Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Gene expression, Enhancer binding, Cellular differentiation, Chromatin and Messenger RNA. Biochemistry is represented through his DNA, DNA-binding protein, Recombinant DNA, Leucine zipper and bZIP domain research.

As a part of the same scientific family, Steven L. McKnight mostly works in the field of Gene, focusing on Herpes simplex virus and, on occasion, Mutant. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell, Cell division and Bioinformatics.
