Class dismissed. --By Jyoti...
...Institute of Technology in Zurich and the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. Like Tanaka and Fenn, W?thrich took an existing high-tech tool and refined it for use on organic molecules. In this case, the technology was nuclear magnetic resonance (better known in its medical diagnostic form as MRI). It works by bathing a lab sample or a human body with electromagnetic energy and carefully measuring how the atoms and molecules respond. It?s not all that difficult when you?re looking for something big - a tumor inside the brain, for example...
