Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Sung-Hou Kim spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Crystallography, Protein structure and Binding site. Sung-Hou Kim combines topics linked to Biophysics with his work on Biochemistry. The various areas that Sung-Hou Kim examines in his Stereochemistry study include Nucleotide, Conserved sequence, Active site, Stacking and Hydrogen bond.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Folding and Transfer RNA in addition to Crystallography. Sung-Hou Kim combines subjects such as Genetics, Periplasmic space and Sequence alignment with his study of Protein structure. His Binding site study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Alpha helix, Magnesium ion, Zinc finger nuclease, Zinc finger and Dimer.

His most cited work include:

  • Sparse matrix sampling: a screening method for crystallization of proteins (1970 citations)
  • Discovery of a selective inhibitor of oncogenic B-Raf kinase with potent antimelanoma activity (1071 citations)
  • Molecular switch for signal transduction: structural differences between active and inactive forms of protooncogenic ras proteins (855 citations)

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

Sung-Hou Kim mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Crystallography, Stereochemistry, Protein structure and Crystal structure. The Crystallography study combines topics in areas such as X-ray crystallography, Crystallization, Molecule and Transfer RNA. His research on Stereochemistry also deals with topics like

  • Active site, which have a strong connection to Hydrolase,
  • DNA that connect with fields like Nucleic acid.

His studies deal with areas such as Thermotoga maritima and Conserved sequence as well as Protein structure. His studies in Crystal structure integrate themes in fields like Diffraction and Monellin. His research on Structural genomics also deals with topics like

  • Computational biology that intertwine with fields like Organism,
  • Genetics together with Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (38.24%)
  • Crystallography (30.25%)
  • Stereochemistry (26.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2021)?

  • Structural genomics (23.95%)
  • Biochemistry (38.24%)
  • Protein structure (26.89%)

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

Sung-Hou Kim mainly investigates Structural genomics, Biochemistry, Protein structure, Gene and Computational biology. His Structural genomics study combines topics in areas such as Genetics, Crystal structure, Protein folding, Peptide sequence and Hypothetical protein. Sung-Hou Kim frequently studies issues relating to Bacteria and Biochemistry.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crystallography and Conserved sequence. His study in Crystallography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thermotoga maritima, Structural similarity, Biophysics and Peptide. His work in Enzyme tackles topics such as Stereochemistry which are related to areas like Active site, Hydrolase and Hammerhead ribozyme.

Between 2003 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Discovery of a selective inhibitor of oncogenic B-Raf kinase with potent antimelanoma activity (1071 citations)
  • Alignment-free genome comparison with feature frequency profiles (FFP) and optimal resolutions (319 citations)
  • Structural Basis for the Activity of Drugs that Inhibit Phosphodiesterases. (287 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Sung-Hou Kim focuses on Biochemistry, Protein structure, Peptide sequence, Phylogenetics and Genetics. His research brings together the fields of Stereochemistry and Biochemistry. His Protein structure research incorporates themes from Protein secondary structure, Crystallography, Geometry, Cluster analysis and Multidimensional scaling.

The concepts of his Crystallography study are interwoven with issues in Thermotoga maritima, Structural similarity and Structural alignment. His studies examine the connections between Peptide sequence and genetics, as well as such issues in Transport protein, with regards to Conserved sequence, Multidrug Resistance-Associated Proteins, Ligand and Periplasmic space. His research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology and Genome in his study of Phylogenetics.
