Gene Machine: The Race to Decipher the Secrets of the Ribosome Audiobook (Free)

Everyone has heard about DNA. But alone, DNA is merely an inert blueprint forever. It is the ribosome-an enormous molecular bulk manufactured up of the million atoms-that makes DNA become more active, turning our hereditary code into protein and therefore into us. Gene Machine can be an insider account of the race for the structure of the ribosome, a simple breakthrough that both developments our knowledge of all lifestyle and could result in the introduction of better antibiotics against life-threatening illnesses. But this is also a human being story of Ramakrishnan’s improbable trip, from his 1st fumbling experiments inside a biology lab to becoming the dark equine in a fierce competition with some of the world’s greatest scientists. In the long run, Gene Machine is definitely a frank insider’s accounts of the pursuit of high-stakes science.
