PREMIO NOBEL

Ganadores del Premio Nobel de Química 2018

October 3, 2018 - Frances H Arnold (EUA), George P. Smith (EUA) y sir Gregory
Winter (BRI) ganaron el Premio Nobel de Química 2018 por usar los principios de la evolución para producir nuevas enzimas y anticuerpos

Frances Arnold of the California Institute of Technology was awarded half the prize for conducting the first directed evolution of enzymes, leading to more environmentally friendly manufacturing of chemicals, including drugs, and in the production of renewable fuels.

George Smith of the University of Missouri and Gregory Winter of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, share the other half of the prize. Smith developed a new way to evolve proteins and Winter used the method for evolving antibodies with the aim of producing new drugs.

The first drug based on this work is used against rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease, the academy said.
