Answer-(A) 1, 2 and 3Explanation:
They were selected for developing Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-Em) for the high resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution.
The Cryo-electron microscopy is specific type of electron microscopy based on principle of forming three-dimensional (3D) image by collecting and combining thousands of projections of biomolecules.
Biomolecules – such as proteins DNA play important roles in the living cell but until the 1950’s scientists had no idea what they looked like.
Breakthroughs in the following years helped them build ‘limited’ models of biomolecules.
Cryo-Em is taking over from x-ray crystallography as a method to deduce high resolution protein structures, particularly of large molecules.
X-Ray Crystallography
X-Ray scatter as they pass through a crystallized protein, the resulting waves interface with each other, creating a diffraction pattern from which the position of atoms is deduced.
Cryo-Electron microscopy
A beam of electron is fired at a frozen protein solution. The emerging scattered electrons pass through a lens to create a magnified image on the detector, from which their structure can be worked out.
