The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Wednesday three scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for \u201cthe development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The prize and its $900,000 award went equally to Carolyn Bertozzi and Barry Sharpless of the United States and Morten Meldal of Denmark.<\/p>\n
For Sharpless, it is his second Nobel Prize in chemistry after being awarded the honor in 2001.<\/p>\n
The academy said Meldal and Sharpless each independently presented a chemical reaction that is now used widely to develop pharmaceuticals and materials, and for mapping DNA.<\/p>\n
Bertozzi developed the field further with reactions that function inside living things, the academy said, with applications that include exploring cells and tracking biological processes.<\/p>\n
The Nobel Prize for medicine and for physics were awarded earlier this week, with the literature prize and the Nobel Peace Prize due to be announced Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n
