Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His main research concerns Biochemistry, DNA, Molecular biology, RNA and DNA ligase. His studies in RNA triphosphatase, Capping enzyme, Guanylyltransferase, Binding site and RNA capping are all subfields of Biochemistry research. Stewart Shuman combines subjects such as Enzyme and Five-prime cap with his study of RNA triphosphatase.

His DNA research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mycobacterium smegmatis, Phosphodiester bond and Active site. His Molecular biology research integrates issues from Recombinant DNA, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, In vitro recombination, Methyltransferase and Cell biology. His DNA ligase study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as DNA repair and DNA replication.

His most cited work include:

  • Identification of microRNAs of the herpesvirus family (1034 citations)
  • 5′-Capping enzymes are targeted to pre-mRNA by binding to the phosphorylated carboxy-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II (490 citations)
  • Dynamic association of capping enzymes with transcribing RNA polymerase II (352 citations)

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

Stewart Shuman mainly focuses on Biochemistry, RNA, DNA, Molecular biology and DNA ligase. His Biochemistry study focuses mostly on RNA triphosphatase, Active site, Capping enzyme, Enzyme and Guanylyltransferase. His studies deal with areas such as Triphosphatase and Messenger RNA as well as RNA triphosphatase.

His study in DNA is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phosphodiester bond, Cleavage and Stereochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cell biology, RNA polymerase II, Transcription and Binding site. The DNA ligase study combines topics in areas such as Non-homologous end joining, DNA clamp, Polymerase and DNA polymerase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (62.07%)
  • RNA (33.87%)
  • DNA (31.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (62.07%)
  • RNA (33.87%)
  • DNA (31.44%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, RNA, DNA, Cell biology and Vaccinia. His work on Biochemistry deals in particular with DNA ligase, Polynucleotide Kinase, Transferase, Amino acid and RNA capping. His RNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phosphotransferase and NAD+ kinase.

His DNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Molecular biology, Phosphodiester bond and Nucleic acid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Polymerase and DNA polymerase I. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Synthetic lethality, Messenger RNA, Transcription and Binding site.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Division of labor among Mycobacterium smegmatis RNase H enzymes: RNase H1 activity of RnhA or RnhC is essential for growth whereas RnhB and RnhA guard against killing by hydrogen peroxide in stationary phase (69 citations)
  • Intratumoral delivery of inactivated modified vaccinia virus Ankara (iMVA) induces systemic antitumor immunity via STING and Batf3-dependent dendritic cells. (59 citations)
  • Transcription of lncRNA prt, clustered prt RNA sites for Mmi1 binding, and RNA polymerase II CTD phospho-sites govern the repression of pho1 gene expression under phosphate-replete conditions in fission yeast (36 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Stewart Shuman focuses on Biochemistry, RNA, DNA, Gene and Transcription. In his works, Stewart Shuman conducts interdisciplinary research on Biochemistry and CTD. His DNA research incorporates themes from Molecular biology, Nucleic acid and Helicase.

As part of the same scientific family, Stewart Shuman usually focuses on Molecular biology, concentrating on Binding site and intersecting with DNA Mutational Analysis and Protein subunit. His Transcription study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcription factor, Gene expression and Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phosphodiester bond and Ligase ribozyme in addition to DNA ligase.
