* '''1987 - [[Major_Histocompatibility_Complex_Class_I | Major histocompatibility complex class I]]''': Created a paradigm shift in cellular immunology by explaining how MHC is involved in presenting hidden intracellular proteins to T lymphocytes. During the decade prior to this structure, this was a constantly debated but very murky mystery. | * '''1987 - [[Major_Histocompatibility_Complex_Class_I | Major histocompatibility complex class I]]''': Created a paradigm shift in cellular immunology by explaining how MHC is involved in presenting hidden intracellular proteins to T lymphocytes.

* '''2000 | * '''2000 - [[Ribosome]]''': This structure surprised almost everyone by showing that peptidyl transferase is a ribozyme, rather than a protein enzyme. It won the [[Nobel_Prizes_for_3D_Molecular_Structure#Twenty-First_Century|2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry]]. | ||
