Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Enzyme
Amino acid

Wayne A. Fenton focuses on Biochemistry, GroEL, Chaperonin, Protein folding and GroES. His study looks at the relationship between Biochemistry and fields such as Biophysics, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Protein folding study combines topics in areas such as Thermosome and Foldase.

His research in Foldase focuses on subjects like GroES Protein, which are connected to GroEL Protein, Operon and Protein biosynthesis. He merges GroES with Opposite ring in his study. His studies in ATP hydrolysis integrate themes in fields like Folding and Binding site.

His most cited work include:

Residues in chaperonin GroEL required for polypeptide binding and release (572 citations)
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN GroEL-MEDIATED PROTEIN FOLDING (503 citations)
Mechanism of GroEL action: Productive release of polypeptide from a sequestered position under groes (379 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, GroEL, Chaperonin, GroES and Biophysics. His Biochemistry study frequently links to related topics such as Molecular biology. His GroEL research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Crystallography, Folding and Cryo-electron microscopy.

His Chaperonin study is focused on Protein folding in general. His GroES research integrates issues from RuBisCO, Cooperativity, Adenosine triphosphate and Nucleotide.
