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

Wayne F. Anderson spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Cell biology, Enzyme, Stereochemistry and Protein Data Bank. Wayne F. Anderson combines subjects such as Bacillus anthracis and Microbiology with his study of Biochemistry. Wayne F. Anderson focuses mostly in the field of Cell biology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Virulence factor and, in certain cases, Immune system.

In general Enzyme study, his work on Active site and Transferase often relates to the realm of Polyketide synthase, thereby connecting several areas of interest. While the research belongs to areas of Structural biology, Wayne F. Anderson spends his time largely on the problem of E2F1, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Repressor. Wayne F. Anderson studied Repressor and Protein superfamily that intersect with Binding site.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Metabolic features of chronic fatigue syndrome (168 citations)
  • Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors against NS2B/NS3 serine protease from Zika virus (71 citations)
  • Structure to function of an α-glucan metabolic pathway that promotes Listeria monocytogenes pathogenesis. (19 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiology, Cell biology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Tuberculosis and Biochemistry. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Staphylococcal infections, Staphylococcus aureus and Peptide sequence, Sequence alignment. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Membrane glycoproteins, KRAS and Cell growth.

His Mycobacterium tuberculosis study combines topics in areas such as Antibiotics, Penicillin, Antibiotic resistance, Penicillin binding proteins and Penicillin binding. His research in Enzyme, Structural genomics, Open reading frame, Metabolic pathway and Repressor are components of Biochemistry. His work on Transferase as part of general Enzyme study is frequently linked to Electrophile, Nucleophile and Tetrasaccharide, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
