Genetic detective. From ribosome research to the Nobel Prize

Vencatraman "Wenki" Ramakrishnan - American and British biochemist, Nobel laureate in chemistry in 2009 together with Thomas Stean and Ada Jonat "for research and functions of ribosomes. Since 2015, the President of the Royal Society, a member of the US National Academy of Sciences.
Everyone knows about DNA, a molecule that stores our genes. But DNA is useless without a ribosoma - a unique processor deciphering the genetic code. It is the ribosoma that is the engine of life. "Genetic apparatus: in search of the secrets of ribosomes" is an exciting story about the discovery of its incredibly complex structure and the unraveling of the ancient secret of life.
If they told me that the most witty and exciting book that I will read this year will be dedicated to ribosomes, I would laugh this person in person. But I would fundamentally wrong. This book is great. "
Bill Bryson
"Science in the beautiful book by Ramakrishnan becomes a play with good and bad characters. She acquires a human face - hard work and brilliant ideas are important, but this is also luck, jealousy, money, roulette in the distribution of the main awards, on which further success depends.
Ian Mcueen
