    Abstract:

    The discovery of the ribosome structure was not only a scientific achievement in of itself, but is also a direct influence on the development of new antibiotics that generally do not have the drawbacks of current antibiotics. The history of discovering the structure of the ribosome is described, along with its direct link with new antibiotics.
