This year's #NobelPrize in Chemistry will be awarded tomorrow 🏅

Here's a reminder of the research that has won in previous years, including molecular sponges, the prediction of protein structures, and clicking together new medicine molecules: www.compoundchem.com/category/nob...

Infographic titled "2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry" celebrating Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal, and K. Barry Sharpless for click and bioorthogonal chemistry. Sharpless coined "click chemistry" in 2001 for quick, selective reactions without unwanted byproducts. Sharpless and Meldal independently developed the first reaction using a copper catalyst to combine azides and alkynes. Bertozzi developed copper-free click chemistry in 2003 for live cell applications like tracking glycans. Applications include drug synthesis and targeting cancer.Infographic titled "The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry" honoring Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus, and Alexei I. Ekimov for discovering and synthesizing quantum dots. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanoparticles whose light absorption and emission change with particle size due to quantum effects. In 1981, Ekimov created size-dependent color in tinted glass; in 1983, Brus discovered size-dependent absorption/emission in liquid solutions; in 1993, Bawendi developed a precise synthesis method. Applications include QLED TVs, LED lamps, flexible electronics, and solar cells.Infographic titled "The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry" honoring David Baker for computational protein design, and Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for protein structure prediction. Proteins fold into 3D structures determining their function. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper introduced AlphaFold2, an AI model that evaluates amino acid interactions to predict 3D folded structures, now used on nearly 200 million proteins. David Baker created Rosetta software to work in reverse, designing amino acid sequences for custom protein structures, succeeding in 2003. Applications include protein-based drugs, vaccines, and catalysts.Infographic titled "The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry" honoring Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are porous molecular sponges composed of metal ions connected by organic linkers, allowing small gas molecules to move in and out of their cavities. In 1989, Robson combined copper ions with four-armed molecules. In 1997, Kitagawa created stable and flexible gas-storing MOFs using cobalt ions. In 1999, Yaghi built MOF-5 with zinc clusters, achieving massive internal surface area. Applications include gas storage, harvesting water from air, targeted drug delivery, and toxic chemical detection.

The 2026 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to astrophysicist Francis Halzen for his work detecting high-energy cosmic neutrinos that launched a new era of astronomy.

Halzen is the first physics laureate to be awarded solo in more than 30 years:

🤔 Molecules with a dilemma?

In our latest work, we use kinetic control to steer a π-radical cascade towards a single, twisted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, even though less distorted alternatives are possible.

The standard way to switch a cellular process on with a small molecule is an immunosuppressant. The Baker Lab designed a replacement from scratch – a macrocycle and a protein that binds it at 36 nM, neither borrowed from nature.

‘Knowing how and where to start, especially with students just beginning their university journey, can be as nerve wracking for a new tutor as it is for their tutees,’ writes Victoria Atkinson.
