On October 7th, 2009 the Nobel Committee announced three structural biologists would share the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for studies of the the ribosome. The ribosome is the machine in your cells that accurately and efficiently decodes the genetic information stored in your genome and synthesizes the corresponding polypeptide chain one amino acid at a time in the process of translation. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan of the M.R.C. Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England; Thomas A. Steitz of Yale University; and Ada E. Yonath of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel share the prize for the first atomic-resolution structures of the two subunits that come together to form an active ribosome. These structures are considered landmarks for the fact they showed clearly the major contributions to decoding and peptide bond synthesis come from RNA and not protein, as well as for the sheer size of the structures determined. These structures represent tour-de-force efforts in understanding fundamental processes in every organism on earth and will have direct impacts on how we fight pathogenic bacteria in the immediate future. Shown are both subunits of the ribosome, as well as that bind in the complex during the process of translation. (more...)

What Can Proteopedia Do For You?

Scientists and Students	Educators	Structural Researchers
Understand 3D structure-function relationships Intuitively communicate your favorite 3D structure to a broad audience	Develop tutorials or molecular scenes to project during lectures Assign students to construct pages in Proteopedia for class projects or reports	Create Interactive 3D Complements for your journal publications Create pages about your research group, highlighting structures of interest to your group
(Example: HIV-1_protease - On how drugs combat the Human Immunodeficiency Virus)	(You may protect your teaching pages from editing by others.)	(You may protect such pages from editing by others or hide them from viewing pre-publication.)
