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.
The Nobel Prize is widely considered one of the most prestigious awards celebrating human achievement in peace, medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and economics.Three scientists were jointly awarded this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for developing a way of "snapping molecules together" that can be used to design better medicines.
Sharpless, 81, who previously won a Nobel Prize in 2001 and is now the fifth person to receive the award twice, first proposed the idea for connecting molecules using chemical "buckles" around the turn of the millennium, said Aqvist. Bertozzi, 55, who is based at Stanford University in California, "took click chemistry to a new level," the Nobel panel said.
"They told me not to tell anyone. So I sat inside my office and I shook my pants with fright," he told The Associated Press. "This is a huge honor."
