Nobel 2009. Ada Yonath, Thomas A. Steitz and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan have shared the 2009 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their contributions to solving the three‐dimensional structure of bacterial ribosomes by employing X‐ray crystallography. A detailed view of this complex machinery will help to develop new synthetic antibiotics.
