Ribosome Structure. Ada Yonath is brilliant crystallographer best known for her pioneering work on the ribosome 3D structure. In 2009, she was the first woman in 45 years to win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
Nowadays, many structures of ribosomes are available on the PDB, however it was not always the case.
Infact, when Ada started her attempts to solve with X-ray crystallography the ribosome structure, many scientists thought it was impossible. She proved them wrong!
