Nobel Prize 2017 in Chemistry given to Cryo-Electron Microscopy Biochemistry research
Chemistry Nobel Prize 2017 won by Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson for their work in improving imaging biological molecules Cryo-Electron Microscopy
In a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden, Three scientists Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson names announced as the winner of 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry is given to the research done by the scientists in improving the images of biological molecules, bacteria and other very small organisms, organic molecules.
The Nobel Prize 2017 winning technique has immense practical usage in the field of chemistry to molecular sciences. According to Nobel Prize committee, this technique has moved the biochemistry into a new era.
With this award-winning technique, Cryo-Electron Microscopy of imaging biomolecules very intricate images can be viewed live in bodily fluids. Now research scientists can see how biomolecules act in chemical reactions.
The award-winning molecular imaging technique, Cryo-Electron Microscopy process 2D images of biomolecules in such a way that fuzzy 2D images turned into sharp 3-D structures.
Richard Henderson was the person who successfully presented the image of bacteria molecule at atomic resolution.
