The 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Venki Ramakrishnan, Tom Steitz, and Ada Yonath for crystallographic studies of the ribosome. The atomic resolution structures of the ribosomal subunits provide an extraordinary context for understanding one of the most fundamental aspects of cellular function: protein synthesis.
2009 年诺贝尔化学奖授予文卡特拉曼·拉马克里希南(Venki Ramakrishnan)、托马斯·施泰茨(Thomas Steitz)和阿达·约纳特(Ada Yonath),以表彰他们在核糖体结构和功能研究领域的贡献。核糖体亚基的原子分辨率结构为理解细胞功能的最基本方面之一——蛋白质合成——提供了一个非凡的背景。
