Presentation transcript:

2017 chemistry Nobel prize made simple Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson received a Nobel prize (like an Oscar, but for chemistry) on the 4 October 2017 for developing a technique called cryo-electron microscopy. With this technique, scientists can look at biological molecules, like proteins or viruses, in much more detail than before. This helps better understand how they function. Normal electron microscopy does not work as well because bio-molecules are damaged by the electron beam. Inventors of cryo-EM found cooling them to -196°C stops the damage. That’s very cold! This slide summarises a recent article published by Chemistry World. Use this slide as a lesson starter.

2017 chemistry Nobel prize made simple Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson received a Nobel prize (like an Oscar, but for science) for developing a technique called cryo-electron microscopy. Chemistry and biology often help each other. With this technique, scientists can look at biological molecules, like proteins or viruses, in much more detail than before. This helps better understand how they function. Normal electron microscopy does not work as well because bio-molecules are damaged by the electron beam. Inventors of cryo-EM found cooling them to -196°C stops the damage. This slide summarises a recent article published by Chemistry World. Use this slide as a lesson starter. It also contains questions which can be used to engage pupils. Image credit: Martin Högbom / The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Read the full article at rsc.li/2yItdIh, published 9 October 2017 Have a think about: Why is it helpful to understand bio-molecules in lots of detail? What do you think “cryo-” means? Have you heard of any other techniques scientists use to study molecules in detail?
