Ways to speed up and control the evolution of proteins to produce greener technologies and new medicines have won three scientists the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Winter says that a woman with cancer who had received an early, experimental version of one ofhis humanized antibodies against a cancer-related protein drove him to push his research out ofthe laboratory and into the clinic. Before Arnold, the last woman to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Ada Yonath, a crystallographer at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, who won in 2009 for mapping the structure of the ribosome, which generates proteins from the genetic code in cells.

The European Biophysical Societies’ Association (EBSA) is an association of 32 biophysical societies in Europe dedicated to the promotion of excellence in biophysics. Through cooperation and collaborative activities, EBSA makes a major and positive impact on the European and International biophysics community. Biennial congresses at various European locations, organized by host societies, are a major activity that engages biophysicists with the wider international scientific community. The European Biophysics Journal, EBJ, is owned by EBSA and publishes high-quality biophysics contributions from around the Globe. The inception of EBSA can be dated to 1984. Peter Bayley, President of EBSA 1990–1993 and Managing Editor, European Biophysics Journal 1984–1999, wrote a history of ‘EBSA- the early days’, which was published in the Abstract book of the 2007 EBSA Congress. In the present article we aim to update and expand the history to 2024, the 40th anniversary of EBSA, highlighting some developments and achievements of EBSA and the communities it represents.

PETRA III at DESY is one of the brightest synchrotron radiation sources worldwide. It serves a broad international multidisciplinary user community from academia to industry at currently 25 specialised beamlines. With a storage-ring energy of 6 GeV, it provides mainly hard to high-energy X-rays for versatile experiments in a very broad range of scientific fields. It is ideally suited for an upgrade to the ultra-low emittance source PETRA IV, owing to its large circumference of 2304 m. With a targeted storage ring emittance of 20 × 5 pm 2 rad 2 , PETRA IV will reach spectral brightnesses two to three orders of magnitude higher than today. The unique beam parameters will make PETRA IV the ultimate in situ 3D microscope for biological, chemical, and physical processes helping to address key questions in health, energy, mobility, information technology, and earth and environment.

A study of protein databases shows that discoverers who are second to publish still end up getting a substantial portion of the recognition. A study of protein databases shows that discoverers who are second to publish still end up getting a substantial portion of the recognition.

Perutz had shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry the year before with his colleague John Kendrew, of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. In 2009, he received his own Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Ada E. Yonath) for his contribution to solving the immensely complex structure of the ribosome, the structure that translates genetic information into proteins in cells. By 2000, their team had solved the structure of the '50S subunit' of the bacterial ribosome, the part that assembles amino acids into proteins.

El Parlamento ecuatoriano condecoró hoy a la israelí Ada Yonath, premio Nobel de Química 2009, con la medalla al merito científico, en una visita que esta realizó a esa institución con motivo de su participación en el Primer Congreso Internacional de Química en Ecuador.

Ada Yonath, chimiste israélienne à l’Institut Weizmann, est connue pour ses travaux sur la structure du ribosome procaryote. Travaux pour lesquels elle a reçu le prix Nobel de chimie en 2009.

Frances H. Arnold, ganadora del Nobel de Química junto a George Smith y Gregory P. Winter por los avances en el desarrollo de proteínas a partir del aprovechamiento del poder de la evolución, dijo hoy que en el futuro próximo habrá \"una oleada de premios Nobel de Química para mujeres\".
