Russia-1 Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry 2022
Stanford University professor Caroline Bertozzi, chemist Barry Sharpless and University of Copenhagen professor Morten Meldal were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry today for developing a new method for synthesizing molecules, as well as for achievements in bioorthogonal chemistry and click chemistry. For the American Barry Sharpless, this is the second award – before that this happened only four times in history.
The term “click chemistry” informs RBC, introduced by Barry Sharpless in 2001, explores the chemical reactions that make it possible to quickly and efficiently synthesize given substances by combining a relatively small number of elements together. This allows you to quickly and in large volumes to establish the production of, for example, pharmaceuticals.
“The Nobel Prize-winning discovery will be used to create a cure. Our citizens do not need to know strict terms in order to receive from chemistry, ”said the vice-president of the Russian Academy of Sciences S.N. Kalmykov.
