Everyone has heard of DNA. But by itself, DNA is just an inert blueprint. It is the ribosome-an enormous molecular machine made up of a million atoms-that makes DNA come to life. Gene Machine is an insider account of the race to discover the ribosome's structure and so its workings, a fundamental discovery to both advance our knowledge of all life and develop better antibiotics against life-threatening diseases. But this is also a frank and human story of Ramakrishnan's unlikely journey, from his first fumbling lab experiments to his fierce competition with some of the world's best scientists, and an uncommon insider's account of the pursuit of high-stakes science.
