Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

jointly to Jacques D'Bouche, Joachim Frank and and Richard Henderson for developing cryo-electron microscopy

for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution.

Joran Hansen, Secretary General of the Academy at 5.53 this morning Eastern Time.

Duboisier is honorary professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland.

Frank is at Columbia University in New York. Henderson is at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.

The technique has transformed the electromagnroscopy from a technique that could be used to just see the shapes,

the outer shapes of molecules into one that is now used to see the details, the atoms inside the molecules.

Peter Brzezinski is a professor of biochemistry at Stockholm University and a member of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.

And the latest technical developments occurred very recently.

So it's very recent developments that we can actually see the details of these molecules.

The technique is also relatively rapid.

So one has samples that can be studied, the structure can be determined relatively rapidly.

And this was exemplified last year when the structure of the Zika virus was determined just a few months.

And this structure shows the atomic details of the surface, which of course is important when developing drugs against the virus.
