Yonath on “ingeniously designed” ribosome? Everyone tells us she didn’t mean it …

Well hopefully this does help in health or just in knowledge. Yes everything is wonderfully made and looks like what it would if it was made. A prediction. Israel eh. ? This is because 3 billion dollars and more help goes to such a small country. the money should stay in america because it would go further in research and the credit should go to those paying the bill. Without American peoples money they couldn't afford reserach and Americans could have more. It takes away the fun of Nobel prizes. Why not finance China/ lots of them and they like science stuff. Off thread but it sticks in the ribosome's. Robert Byers

There was a very simple, completely straightforward way around that unfortunate 'mot pas' for Yonath. They are verbs that cry out to be coined: '... most intricately randomed/haphazarded' Axel

SCheesman You'll have to get rid of the architecture, I'm afraid. Dictionary definition: "science of building". Etymology: "that which is panned and made by an arch builder." Sorry - you don't get to turn down the Nobel. Jon Garvey

Jon Garvey:

Here’s a challenge: can someone be helpful by rewording it in totally non-teleological language? A Nobel Prize for the best…

Actually, the rules to do this are well-know and relatively simple, for instance: "... a striking dynamic architecture that evolved over millions of years" "... has evolved a striking dynamic architecture." I must decline the Nobel... one has to be original, I think. SCheesman

Here is a video that was put out by Yonath's group;

A few more videos and a note on the ‘Ingeniously Designed’ ribosome:

The Ribosome: Perfectionist Protein-maker Trashes Errors Excerpt: The enzyme machine that translates a cell's DNA code into the proteins of life is nothing if not an editorial perfectionist...the ribosome exerts far tighter quality control than anyone ever suspected over its precious protein products... To their further surprise, the ribosome lets go of error-laden proteins 10,000 times faster than it would normally release error-free proteins, a rate of destruction that Green says is "shocking" and reveals just how much of a stickler the ribosome is about high-fidelity protein synthesis. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/01 /090107134529.htm Molecular Machine - Ribosome - video http://pubs.acs.org/cen/multimedia/85/ribosome/translation_bacterial.html Protein Synthesis - Vuk Nikolic 3-D artist - Protein Translation - video http://vimeo.com/31830891 Programming of Life - Protein Synthesis - video http://www.youtube.com/user/Programmingoflife#p/c/AFDF33F11E2FB840/4/m5Z3afBdxB0 Journey Inside The Cell - Stephen Meyer - video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fiJupfbSpg
