Meet the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry!

Meet the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry!The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2022 is given to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, and K. Barry Sharpless. The Nobel prize is given to them because of what they have done to help the field of "click chemistry."
The subject could be used in medicine, especially to treat cancer.

Key facts!

Their work could one day be used to treat diseases like cancer and in other parts of medical science.
Also, their work brought chemistry into the age of functionalism and laid the groundwork for click chemistry.
Carolyn Bertozzi adds cell mapping to the list of fields where click chemistry can be used.
Her research is currently helping to make cancer treatments that are more targeted.
K. Barry Sharpless came up with a special chemical structure that he called "triazole."
Bertozzi continues to work on click reactions that could work inside living things.
This is done without messing up the processes that are already there.
Triazoles are stable molecules that are used in a wide range of products, such as medicines, dyes, and chemicals for farming.
Sharpless also found that the way he was putting molecules together could hold together many different kinds of molecules.
Patients with advanced cancer are currently taking part in clinical trials of this possible cancer treatment.
