'Kiss of Death' Discoverers Get Nobel Prize

Posted by timothy on from the ask-your-doctor-if-ubiquitin-is-right-for-you dept.

baldinux writes "Science Daily has written an article describing the cellular process of regulated protein degredation, which has landed three people the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. According to the article, this finding could greatly help researchers understand ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation, making it possible to develop drugs to treat cervical cancer, for example."
