Brief annotation

Venkatraman "Venki" Ramakrishnan is an American and British biochemist who won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Thomas Stajtz and Adoya Jonat "for researching the structure and functions of ribosomes." Since 2015, President of the Royal Society, a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Everyone knows about DNA, the molecule that stores our genes. But DNA is useless without ribosome, a unique processor that deciphers the genetic code. It is ribosome - the engine of life. "Genetic Apparatus: In Search of the Secrets of Ribosome" is a fascinating story about the discovery of its incredibly complex structure and the unraveling of the ancient mystery of life.

"If I had been told that the most witty and exciting book I would read this year would be dedicated to ribosomes, I would have laughed in this man's face. But I'd be fundamentally wrong. This book is great."
Bill Bryson

"Science in Ramakrishnan's beautiful book becomes a play with good and bad characters. It acquires a human face - hard work and brilliant ideas are important, but it is also luck, jealousy, money, roulette in the distribution of the main awards, on which further success depends."
Ian McEwan

"Wow! An exciting book about how scientists raced to decipher the structure of ribosomes... Ramacarishnan gives the reader a look into the laboratory and find out what amazing stories are happening there, how science is going on day in and day out."
Nick Lane
