Enzyme Production and Characterization
Enzyme Production and Characterization is a research topic within Biotechnology. Science Explorer counts 50k research works in it since 1950. 15.6% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the molecular approaches, industrial applications, and biotechnological perspectives of microbial enzymes, particularly proteases, amylases, keratinases, and other thermostable enzymes. It also explores the potential of halophilic microorganisms for biotechnology and the use of extremophiles as a source for novel enzymes.

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.
