It is the essence of our being, determining who we are and what we pass on to our children. The ribosome, on the other hand, doesn t enjoy such wide understanding. Yet without it nothing lives. It is the mother of all molecules. For if DNA is data then it can t go anywhere, or do anything, without a machine to process it. The ribosome is that machine. Nobel Prize winner Venki Ramakrishnan tells the story of the race to uncover the structure of the ribosome, a fundamental discovery that resolves an ancient mystery of life itself and could lead to the development of better antibiotics to fight the most deadly diseases. A fascinating insider account, Gene Machine charts Ramakrishnan s unlikely journey from his first fumbling experiments in a biology lab to being at the centre of a fierce competition at the cutting edge of modern science.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46688210911394,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/81Q68ZEJXJL._SL1500.jpg?v=1773922107","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/gene-machine-by-venki-ramakrishnan-author","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
