Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Biochemistry, Cell wall, Xyloglucan, Glucuronoxylan and Xylan are his primary areas of study. His Biochemistry study is mostly concerned with Arabidopsis, Arabidopsis thaliana, Xylan acetylation, Glycan and Carbohydrate conformation. His Cell wall study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cellulose, Molecule, Binding site and Polysaccharide.

His research investigates the link between Xyloglucan and topics such as Oligosaccharide that cross with problems in Culture fluid, Etiolation, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and Acer pseudoplatanus. His Glucuronoxylan research includes elements of Secondary cell wall, Lignocellulosic biomass, Bioprocess and Arabinoxylan. His Secondary cell wall research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Characterization and Cell, Cell division.

His most cited work include:

  • Isolation and characterization of plant cell walls and cell wall components (994 citations)
  • A novel highly unsaturated fatty acid moiety of lipo-oligosaccharide signals determines host specificity of Rhizobium (463 citations)
  • An unambiguous nomenclature for xyloglucan‐derived oligosaccharides (458 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Cell wall, Xyloglucan, Oligosaccharide and Polysaccharide. His study in Glucuronoxylan, Arabidopsis, Glycan, Arabidopsis thaliana and Mutant is done as part of Biochemistry. His Glucuronoxylan research integrates issues from Secondary cell wall, Arabinoxylan and Xylan acetylation.

His work deals with themes such as Hemicellulose, Cellulose, Lignin and Metabolic pathway, Enzyme, which intersect with Cell wall. His Xyloglucan research focuses on Chromatography and how it relates to Tamarind seed. His studies in Oligosaccharide integrate themes in fields like Glycosidic bond, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Stereochemistry and Mass spectrometry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (46.59%)
  • Cell wall (38.07%)
  • Xyloglucan (29.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Cell wall (38.07%)
  • Glycan (13.64%)
  • Glycomics (13.07%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell wall, Glycan, Glycomics, Glycoinformatics and Glucuronoxylan. His Cell wall research focuses on subjects like Lignin, which are linked to Biological pathway, Gene regulatory network and Genetically modified crops. His study with Glycan involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.

His work on Biochemistry is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Gut bacteria. As part of one scientific family, William S. York deals mainly with the area of Glycomics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Data science, and often Group method of data handling and Scientific literature. In his study, Arabidopsis, Lipase and Residue is strongly linked to Acetylation, which falls under the umbrella field of Glucuronoxylan.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Complex pectin metabolism by gut bacteria reveals novel catalytic functions (228 citations)
  • GlyTouCan: an accessible glycan structure repository. (67 citations)
  • GlyTouCan 1.0 - The international glycan structure repository (58 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Glycan, Glycomics, Glycoinformatics, Data science and Cell wall. His Glycan research is within the category of Biochemistry. His Biochemistry study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Computational biology.

His research in Glycoinformatics focuses on subjects like Workflow, which are connected to Functional studies, Glycobiology, Scientific literature, Microarray and Bioinformatics. His Data science study combines topics in areas such as Group method of data handling and Sample preparation. His study looks at the intersection of Cell wall and topics like Lignin with Xylan.
