<I>2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Carolyn Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, K. Barry Sharpless "for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry"<BR> Shown: The two precursor molecules at left bind to neighboring subsites in the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This places them in the proper orientation to click together into a powerful inhibitor, as seen at right. <BR> <A href="https://pdb101.rcsb.org/browse/nobel-prizes-and-pdb-structures">Visit PDB-101 to explore Nobel Prizes and Structural Biology </I>2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Carolyn Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, K.
