Cool way to peer into molecules’ inner workings wins chemistry Nobel Prize
Science News said:An imaging technique that lets scientists capture 3-D views of proteins, viruses and other molecules at the atomic scale has won its developers the 2017 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Jacques Dubochet of the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, Joachim Frank of Columbia University and Richard Henderson of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge will share the prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced October 4.
Called cryo-electron microscopy, the imaging technique freezes biological molecules in place and reveals their inner workings.
