This model represents a ribosome. The ribosomes in our cells are where one of the most fundamental processes in the chemistry of life takes place: the production of proteins based on the genetic information in RNA molecules.
The highly complex ribosome structure could be mapped thanks to the efforts of many scientists, including Thomas Steitz, Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Ada Yonath.
Thomas Steitz donated the model to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2009. - Pristagare
