At 4:45 pm on October 7 (Vietnamese time), the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced. There are a total of 3 award-winning scientists, one British, one American and one Israeli.

The award was given to three scientists for studying the structure and function of ribosomes - an RNA and protein particle found in cells and a protein synthesis site in cells.

Scientists honored with this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry are: Venkatraman Ramakrishnan - Indian-born British (born 1952), Thomas A. Steitz - American (born 1940) and Israeli Ada E.Yonath (born 1939).
