click chemistry

For her groundbreaking contributions to click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry, Bertozzi was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, which she shared with American chemist K. Barry Sharpless and Danish chemist Morten P. Meldal.

… contributed to the development of click chemistry, in which simple, quick, high-yielding reactions are used to make functional biomolecules. Meldal was known in particular for his work on copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuACC), a highly efficient chemical reaction in click chemistry, which he developed simultaneously and independently of American chemist K.…

…2022 prize for contributions to click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry. Sharpless was just the fifth person to receive two Nobel Prizes.
