Chemical Synthesis and Analysis
Chemical Synthesis and Analysis is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 89k research works in it since 1950. 15.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on peptide synthesis, foldamers, amide bond formation, protein-protein interactions, diversity-oriented synthesis, and macrocycles in the context of drug discovery. It explores strategies for the design, synthesis, and application of peptides as therapeutic agents, as well as the development of novel methods for solid-phase peptide synthesis and chemical ligation.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
