The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022: Fulfilling Demanding Applications with Simple Reactions.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 was awarded jointly to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, and K. Barry Sharpless "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry". Such rapid, selective, and nontoxic covalent reactions that link two components together under benign conditions have led to a paradigm shift in basic research and practical applications.
