Microscope trailblazers win 2017<\/h1>\n

Nobel Chemistry Prize<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Scientists Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Chemistry on Wednesday for developing cryo-electron microscopy which simplifies and improves the imaging of biomolecules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cryo-electron microscopy has enabled scientists to fill in previously blank spaces in research, generating images of everything from proteins that cause antibiotic resistance, to the surface of the Zika virus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis method has moved biochemistry into a new era,\u201d the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards Nobel prizes, said in a statement. The awarding brings a 9 million Swedish crown ($1.1 million) prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearchers can now freeze biomolecules mid-movement and visualize processes they have never previously seen, which is decisive for both the basic understanding of life\u2019s chemistry and for the development of pharmaceuticals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scottish-born scientist Henderson used an electron microscope to generate a three-dimensional image of a protein at an atomic resolution, showing the potential of the technology.<\/p>\n

His breakthrough was further developed by German-born scientist Frank while Dubochet of Switzerland used rapidly frozen water to preserve the natural shape of the biomolecules.<\/p>\n

Chemistry is the third of this year\u2019s Nobel Prizes after the winners of the medicine and physics prizes were announced earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The prizes are named after Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, and have been awarded since 1901 for achievements in science, literature and peace, in accordance with his will.<\/div>\n

While the chemistry award has sometimes been overshadowed by the towering reputations of physics winners such as Albert Einstein, laureates include ground-breaking scientists such as radioactivity pioneers Ernest Rutherford and Marie Curie, though she also won the physics prize.<\/p>\n

The award passed over one of the highest-profile fields of research, the so-called CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology that earlier this year allowed U.S. scientists to alter genes in a human embryo to correct a disease-causing mutation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
