Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Suzanne Walker mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Peptidoglycan, Cell wall, Bacterial cell structure and Transferase. Her study in Biosynthesis, Glycosyltransferase, Enzyme, Peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase and Teichoic acid is carried out as part of her studies in Biochemistry. Suzanne Walker is interested in Lipid II, which is a branch of Peptidoglycan.

Her research integrates issues of Nisin, Bacterial outer membrane, Membrane, Cell envelope and Prenylation in her study of Bacterial cell structure. Her Transferase research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Serine, Glycosylation, Transcription factor, Peptide sequence and Binding site. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Periplasmic space and Cell membrane.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Bacterial Cell Envelope (1562 citations)
  • Wall teichoic acids of gram-positive bacteria. (417 citations)
  • Glycosylation of unreactive substrates (341 citations)

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

Suzanne Walker spends much of her time researching Biochemistry, Peptidoglycan, Cell wall, Bacterial cell structure and Glycosyltransferase. Her study in Biochemistry focuses on Enzyme, Biosynthesis, Peptidoglycan glycosyltransferase, Teichoic acid and Transferase. Her work on Lipid II as part of general Peptidoglycan research is often related to Glycan, thus linking different fields of science.

She has researched Cell wall in several fields, including Biophysics, Cell division, Cell membrane, Bacteria and Cell envelope. In most of her Bacterial cell structure studies, her work intersects topics such as Bacterial outer membrane. She has included themes like Active site, Stereochemistry and Escherichia coli in her Glycosyltransferase study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (54.30%)
  • Peptidoglycan (38.01%)
  • Cell wall (21.27%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Peptidoglycan (38.01%)
  • Cell biology (12.22%)
  • Cell wall (21.27%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Peptidoglycan, Cell biology, Cell wall, Bacterial cell structure and Biophysics. Her Peptidoglycan research incorporates themes from Cell and Penicillin binding proteins, Staphylococcus aureus. Suzanne Walker interconnects Plasma protein binding, Membrane protein and Cell membrane in the investigation of issues within Cell wall.

In Bacterial cell structure, she works on issues like Mutant, which are connected to Transporter, Intracellular and Regulator gene. Her Biophysics research includes themes of MreB and Polymerization. Biochemistry covers she research in Cytoplasm.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • FtsW is a peptidoglycan polymerase that is functional only in complex with its cognate penicillin-binding protein. (118 citations)
  • MreB filaments align along greatest principal membrane curvature to orient cell wall synthesis. (92 citations)
  • A central role for PBP2 in the activation of peptidoglycan polymerization by the bacterial cell elongation machinery. (52 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Suzanne Walker mainly investigates Peptidoglycan, Cell biology, Biochemistry, Cell wall and Cytoplasm. Her studies in Peptidoglycan integrate themes in fields like Cell, Thermus thermophilus and Transmembrane domain. Her study focuses on the intersection of Cell biology and fields such as Gene expression with connections in the field of Intron, RNA splicing and Messenger RNA.

Suzanne Walker regularly links together related areas like Staphylococcus aureus in her Biochemistry studies. Her work deals with themes such as Biophysics, Plasma protein binding, MreB and Bacterial cell structure, which intersect with Cell wall. Her work investigates the relationship between Cytoplasm and topics such as O-GlcNAc transferase that intersect with problems in Active site, Glycosyltransferase, HEK 293 cells and Function.
