Nobel Prize winner Venki Ramakrishnan tells the thrilling story of how scientists unlocked a new window onto how life works
‘Beyond superb.’ Bill Bryson
‘A wonderful book.’ Ian McEwan
Everyone knows about DNA, the essence of our being, the molecule where our genes reside. But DNA by itself is useless without a machine to decode the genetic information it contains. The ribosome is that machine. Venki Ramakrishnan tells the story of the race to uncover its enormously complex structure, a fundamental breakthrough that resolves an ancient mystery of life itself.

It is the essence of our being, influencing who we are and what we pass on to our children. But the information in DNA cant be used without a machine to decode it. The ribosome is that machine.
