Porphyrin Metabolism and Disorders
Porphyrin Metabolism and Disorders is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 19k research works in it since 1950. 10.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the molecular mechanisms of heme biosynthesis, including the catalysis by cobalamin-dependent enzymes, genetic mutations leading to porphyrias, microbial production of vitamin B12, and the use of RNA interference therapy and liver transplantation for the treatment of related disorders. It also delves into metabolic engineering and genomic analysis related to heme biosynthesis pathways.

The same series as a ribbon: one cell per year, darker for more. The line above answers how much; this answers when.
Its share of all research
Growing output can still be a shrinking share: all of science grows. This is Porphyrin Metabolism and Disorders as a percentage of every work published that year, 0.0073% in 2024.
Fractional works of Porphyrin Metabolism and Disorders over all fractional works that year. How the balance of science has shifted.
How much of it reaches the world top 10%
Year by year.
Of each year's works in it, the share that reached the world's 10% most cited for their field and year. A field is the world for its own topics, so there is no other line to hold it against.
Which topics inside it are moving
Growth and decline on one axis around a shared zero. Two lists side by side hide the thing that matters: whether the growth dwarfs the decline, or the other way round.
