"Nobel Prize" in (bio)chemistry

Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded for modeling chemical systems

<url>The names of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry were announced in Stockholm.

This year, the most prestigious scientific award was received by Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt and Arieh Warshel "for creating multilevel models of complex chemical systems." The press conference was broadcast on the website of the Nobel Committee.

He was engaged in chemical dynamics, quantum chemistry, and NMR spectroscopy of complex molecules, including proteins.

Michael Levitt is 17 years younger than Karplus. He was born in South Africa, and received his degree in the UK at Cambridge. Currently, the scientist works at Stanford in the USA. He developed one of the first programs that allow you to calculate the dynamics of such complex molecules as proteins and DNA.

Aryeh Warshel was born in what is now Israel in 1940 and received a degree from the Weizmann Institute. His research concerns primarily the modeling of enzymatic reactions. He also made a significant contribution to the study of protein dynamics during biochemical processes.
