When she decided to study ribosomes, the cell's protein manufacturers, many labeled her a dreamer, recalls Prof. Ada Yonath of the Structural Biology Department.
The structure of the ribosome would provide scientists with unprecedented insight into how the genetic code is translated into proteins; however, by the late 1970s, top scientific teams around the world had already tried and failed to crystallize these complex proteins and R.N.A structures so that they could be studied.
