| The prize was awarded to two Americans, K. Barry Sharpless of Scripps Research in La Jolla, Calif., and Carolyn Bertozzi of Stanford University, and to Danish scientist Morten Meldal at the University of Copenhagen. Sharpless and Meldal developed the field of click chemistry, in which molecular building blocks are linked together quickly and efficiently and used in the development of pharmaceuticals, mapping DNA and material sciences. Those advances were harnessed by Bertozzi, who developed bioorthogonal chemistry, which allows scientists to modify molecules in living organisms without disrupting processes occurring within the cells. |
