Nobel chemistry prize awarded to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai
Original: # NobelPrize week continues with the prize in chemistry, which was awarded to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai for discoveries
Nobel Prize week continues with the announcement of the chemistry prize, awarded to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai for discoveries showing how chemical reactions can be made to favor one mirror-image form of a molecule over another. This chirality control is a critical component of modern medicine, as most drugs depend on producing the correct molecular handedness.
Why now: It is Nobel Prize week and the chemistry award has just been announced, drawing attention to the laureates' work on asymmetric synthesis.
