Notable News:

2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine Each of your chromosomes is a double-stranded helix of DNA, protected on either end by a chemical 'cap' called a telomere. The 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine recognizes the importance of telomeres & the potential for understanding the aging process better by learning more about telomeres.

 

2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Cells contain chemical machinery called ribosomes that translate the genetic message from your DNA to make proteins and polypeptides. The 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honors discoveries relating to the structure of the ribosome and how ribosomes interact with antibiotics.
