Historic honor: Barry Sharpless wins second Nobel Prize in Chemistry

The Scripps Research chemistry community shares their thoughts on K. Barry Sharpless' historic second Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He was awarded the 2022 prize for his groundbreaking research in developing “click chemistry,” an ingenious method for building molecules. Sharpless, the W.M. Keck Professor of Chemistry, shares the prize with Carolyn R. Bertozzi of Stanford University and Morten Meldal of the University of Copenhagen for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry, according to the Nobel Prize committee. Sharpless previously shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on chirally catalyzed oxidation reactions, making him the second scientist ever to win two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry. Frederick Sanger won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1958 and 1980.
