MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY REVOLUTIONIZE CHEMISTRY, OR HOW TO GUIDE THE EVOLUTION OF PROTEINS FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY
Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2018

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2018 was shared by three scientists. Half the prize went to the American researcher Frances H. Arnold “for the guided evolution of enzymes”, the other half was shared between the American George P. Smith and Briton Sir Gregory P. Winter “for the phage display of peptides and antibodies.” The methods developed by Nobel laureates will promote the development of more environmentally friendly production of chemical products, new materials, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, etc.
