Ada Yonath Since Quotations

I wanted to reveal how genetic code is translated into protein. I knew a great application could be for antibiotics, since half of the useful ones target the ribosomes, but I didn't believe I could contribute to it. It was like the next Mount Everest to conquer. It was my dream to contribute something to humanity.

It is a great honor for me to be able to express my sincere gratitude to the Nobel Foundation.
