Conclusion for Paper on Discovery of Structure of Ribosome

Providing the structure of the large and small subunit of the ribosome allowed for the development of a whole new class and specificity of drug targeting. The ribosome has been a target for antibiotics, however bacteria have become increasingly resistant to these developed antibiotics. The specific mapping of the ribosome can now be used to develop new antibiotics targeting different and new mechanisms in the ribosome, previously not known.
