Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • DNA
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include DNA, Crystallography, Base pair, Molecule and Thermodynamics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Persistence length and Gibbs free energy in addition to DNA. His Crystallography research incorporates elements of Ionic bonding, Hydrogen bond, Titration, Condensation and Polaron.

His Base pair study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chemical physics, Nucleation, Raman spectroscopy, Intermolecular force and Stereochemistry. His Molecule research includes elements of Inorganic chemistry, Nucleic acid, Cooperativity and Optical tweezers. The Heat capacity and Isothermal titration calorimetry research Victor A. Bloomfield does as part of his general Thermodynamics study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Nucleic acid thermodynamics and DNA condensation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His most cited work include:

  • DNA condensation by multivalent cations. (902 citations)
  • Ionic effects on the elasticity of single DNA molecules (754 citations)
  • Nucleic Acids: Structures, Properties, and Functions (672 citations)

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

His main research concerns Crystallography, DNA, Light scattering, Thermodynamics and Analytical chemistry. Victor A. Bloomfield has researched Crystallography in several fields, including Condensation, Ionic bonding, Molecule and Binding site. His study on Base pair is often connected to DNA condensation and Nucleic Acid Denaturation as part of broader study in DNA.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Light scattering, Chemical physics are connected with Computational chemistry and other disciplines. His Analytical chemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Electrophoresis, Micelle and Diffusion. His Ionic strength study incorporates themes from Inorganic chemistry and Polyelectrolyte.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Crystallography (23.20%)
  • DNA (20.62%)
  • Light scattering (15.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1996-2014)?

  • DNA (20.62%)
  • Thermodynamics (14.43%)
  • Molecule (12.37%)

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

DNA, Thermodynamics, Molecule, Crystallography and DNA condensation are his primary areas of study. In DNA, he works on issues like Persistence length, which are connected to Inorganic chemistry. The concepts of his Thermodynamics study are interwoven with issues in Ionic strength, Aqueous solution and Hydrophobic effect.

His Molecule study combines topics in areas such as Optical tweezers, Nucleic acid, Dissociation and Solvent. While working in this field, Victor A. Bloomfield studies both Crystallography and Elasticity. His Intermolecular force study which covers Helix that intersects with Ion.

Between 1996 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • DNA condensation by multivalent cations. (902 citations)
  • Ionic effects on the elasticity of single DNA molecules (754 citations)
  • Nucleic Acids: Structures, Properties, and Functions (672 citations)

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

  • DNA
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Biochemistry

His primary scientific interests are in DNA, Crystallography, Molecule, Thermodynamics and Base pair. His work in the fields of genomic DNA overlaps with other areas such as Nucleic Acid Denaturation. Crystallography and Elasticity are two areas of study in which Victor A. Bloomfield engages in interdisciplinary research.

His work on Persistence length as part of general Molecule study is frequently linked to Nucleic acid thermodynamics, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Raman spectroscopy, Pyrimidine and Deoxyadenosine as well as Base pair. His Polymer research incorporates elements of Ion and Chemical physics.
