Professor Ada Yonath, the 2009 Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry and a recipient of the Israel Prize, passed away on Sunday at the age of 87. Yonath was a senior researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science and was widely regarded as one of the world's most prominent Israeli scientists.
She shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas A. Steitz for their groundbreaking work deciphering the structure and function of the ribosome, the cellular component responsible for protein synthesis. Her extensive research contributed significantly to understanding how antibiotics bind to the ribosome and exert their effects against bacteria.
Born in Jerusalem in 1939, Yonath made history as the first Israeli woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only Israeli to have received the prestigious award in a scientific field to date. Her legacy includes not only her scientific achievements but also her role as an inspiration to aspiring scientists in Israel and globally.
