The picture shows the structure of the protein MutS alpha, which was discovered by Paul Modrich in 1996. The protein is vital in detecting when errors have occurred in the replication of DNA molecules in our cells. A few years after Modrich's discovery, Lorena Beese determined the structure of the protein. It hung in Paul Modrich’s laboratory until he donated it to the Nobel Prize Museum.
Paul Modrich donated the image to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2015. - Pristagare
