He will share 2022 Nobel in chemistry for his work on 'click chemistry'
The Nobel Committee said that Sharpless, Bertozzi and Meldal “laid the foundation for a functional form of chemistry –“Bertozzi has taken click chemistry to a new dimension and started utilising it in living organisms.”
In 2001, Sharpless published a landmark journal article that pointed to a possible way forward. It involved a comparatively inexpensive, streamlined process for linking simple molecules together in an effort to create molecules with beneficial properties, including those meant to prevent and treat disease. And there are fewer by-products.
Sharpless dubbed the method “click chemistry” and joined Bertozzi, Meldal and other scientists around the world in turning the idea into reality.built on Sharpless’ earlier work, which improved the way in which chemicals can be synthesized. He shared the 2001 Nobel in chemistry with William S. Knowles, who had worked Monsanto, and Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University in Japan.
