The super chemist.. presented his eye to science and won two Nobel Prizes

the Swedish Academy, Sharpless, who is 81, is the fifth person to be crowned twice, since the launch of Nobel prize prestigious in 1901.

The American scientist was rewarded with the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, along with other researchers, Caroline Bertozzi and Morten Milldal, in recognition of what has been accomplished in the scientific discipline known as"Afor click chemistry".

What is meant by click chemistry is the interaction that takes place between small, biocompatible molecules, and this is known as"biological pairing".

The process of biological conjugation allows the joining of some substrates to specific biomolecules, and this branch of chemistry is not only concerned with a specific reaction.

Click chemistry simulates what happens in nature, when matter is created by combining smaller units.

The field of pharmacology benefited from the research conducted in the field of click chemistry, due to its great role in highlighting the interaction and compatibility of molecules among them.

Click chemistry has allowed researchers to monitor, locate and qualify biomolecules with greater precision.

great sacrifice

At the beginning of his scientific career, Sharpless intended to study medicine, but one of his professors convinced him to specialize in chemistry, and that is what he did, and he obtained a doctorate in organic chemistry in 1968.

Sharpless spent more than half a century doing research and teaching at prestigious American universities and institutes such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In 1970, the researcher lost one of his eyes, during an accident in the laboratory, due to the explosion of a model tube "NMR"At that time, he had just joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Since then, the American researcher has always stressed that the researcher must wear safety glasses while performing his experiments and research in the laboratory, at all times, because he was wearing them on the day of the injury, but he removed them at a later time, and then the abomination happened.

Sharples recounted the accident and said that he spent days after the accident with his eyes under bandages, so he was very worried that he would be completely blind and lose sight, but he was lucky that he lost the left and his right eye remained intact.

But the accident that blinded one of the researcher’s eyes, was not to discourage him, so he proceeded on his glowing path, until he was awarded the Nobel Prize for the first time in 2001, then won the award for the second time in October 2022.
