Reseña del libro "Gene Machine: The Race to Decipher the Secrets of the Ribosome"
A Nobel Prize-winning biologist's "engaging and witty" (Forbes) memoir tells the riveting story of his race to discover the inner workings of biology's most important molecule Everyone has heard of DNA. But by itself, DNA is just an inert blueprint for life. It is the ribosome--an enormous molecular machine made up of a million atoms--that makes DNA come to life, turning our genetic code into proteins and therefore into us. Gene Machine is an insider account of the race for the ribosome's structure, a fundamental discovery that both advances our knowledge of all life and could lead to the development of better antibiotics against life-threatening diseases. But this is also a human story of Ramakrishnan's unlikely journey, from his first fumbling lab experiments to his fierce competition with some of the world's best scientists. Gene Machine is a frank insider's account of the pursuit of high-stakes science.
