Scientific background on the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009 As we know Prof. Ada Yonath was a Visiting Profesor., at
Max-Planck Inst. for Mol. Genetics, Berlin, in 1979-1983. In the references of the Scientific backround on the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009 you will find people from MPI who through their work helped
**support this life time achievement.
Some of them are still at the Institute or in Berlin.
