Protein crystallization recognised with 2026 Ig Nobel Prize
An unusual natural crystal system challenges expectations in structural biology
Leonard Chavas, Nathan Coussens and Ramaswamy Subramanian were among the researchers awarded the 2026 Ig Nobel Prize for a study of naturally formed protein crystals in the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata. The work shows how these compositionally complex, nutrient-rich crystals can diffract to atomic resolution, offering an unusual example of how structural science can reveal both molecular architecture and biological function.
