Dr. Ada E. Yonath, a postdoctoral fellow at the Mellon College of Science in 1969, received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her studies of the ribosome. “Ada Yonath at the Weizmann ...

Cells have an internal skeleton that maintains their structure and also drives their movement. Known as the cytoskeleton, ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have created a database that provides updated predicted structures on a ...
