Developers of ‘click’ reactions used to improve cancer-drug targeting win Nobel Prize

Three scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry, which has been used to improve the targeting of cancer therapies.
K. Barry Sharpless, PhD, W.M. Keck professor of chemistry at Scripps Research, Morten Meldal, PhD, professor in the department of chemistry at University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and Carolyn R. Bertozzi, PhD, professor in the department of chemistry at Stanford University, shared the honor, which is the second Nobel win for Sharpless, according to a press release.
