Ada E. Yonath (Hebrew: עדה יונת, pronounced [ˈada joˈnat]; born 22 June 1939) [1] is an Israeli crystallographer and Nobel laureate in Chemistry, best known for her pioneering work on the structure of ribosomes.
The long quest for gender parity. For Caltech, a campus of 2,400 undergraduate and graduate students with 47 Nobel awards and more than 50 research centers, the road to gender parity has been long.

Examples include ribosomes, nucleosomes, and many enzymes. nucleosidase Any of a class of enzymes which catalyze the decomposition of nucleosides into their component nitrogenous bases and pentose sugars. [12] nucleoside An organic molecule composed of a nitrogenous base bonded to a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose).
The ribosome of E. coli has about 22 proteins in the small subunit (labelled S1 to S22) and 33 proteins in the large subunit (somewhat counter-intuitively called L1 to L36). All of them are different with three exceptions: one protein is found in both subunits (S20 and L26), [ dubious – discuss ] L7 and L12 are acetylated and methylated forms ...
Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), also known as ribosomal natural products, are a diverse class of natural products of ribosomal origin. [1] Consisting of more than 20 sub-classes, RiPPs are produced by a variety of organisms , including prokaryotes , eukaryotes , and archaea , and they possess a wide ...
Their article introduced three areas of scholarship: critiques of gender bias in science, a history of women in science, and social science data and public policy considerations on the status of women in the science. [1] In the 1980s, feminist science studies had become more philosophical, corresponding to a shift in many fields of academic ...
The binomial name often reflects limited knowledge or hearsay about a species at the time it was named. For instance Pan troglodytes, the chimpanzee, and Troglodytes troglodytes, the wren, are not necessarily cave-dwellers. Sometimes a genus name or specific descriptor is simply the Latin or Greek name for the animal (e.g. Canis is Latin for ...
