Americans Carolyn R. Bertozzi and K. Barry Sharpless and Danish scientist Morten Meldal were cited for developing a way of attaching molecules that can be used to design better medicines.
Three scientists from the United States and Denmark were jointly awarded this year s Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing a way of “snapping molecules together” that can be used to design better medicines. Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless were cited for their work on click chemistry and bioorthogonal reactions, which are used to make cancer drugs, map DNA and create materials that are tailored to a specific purpose.
Carolyn Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and Barry Sharpless worked on click chemistry, or linking chemicals together, and biorthogonal reactions, that apply such chemistry to living cells
