The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009
Medgadget — ... the function of bacterial ribosomes. Without functional ribosomes, bacteria cannot survive. This is why ribosomes are such an important target for new antibiotics. This year's three Laureates have all generated 3D models that show how different antibiotics bind to the ribosome. These models are now used by scientists in order to develop new antibiotics, directly assisting the saving of lives and decreasing humanity's suffering. Link: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009 - "for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome"
MAKE Magazine — The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009 - "for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome"... The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2009 awards studies of one of life's core processes: the ribosome's translation of DNA information into life. Ribosomes produce proteins, which in turn control the chemistry in all living organisms. As ribosomes are crucial to life, they are also a major target for new antibiotics. This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry awards Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Thomas A. Steitz and Ada E. Yonath for having showed what the ...
