PRÉMIO NOBEL

Laureados com o Prémio Nobel da Química 2018

October 3, 2018 - Frances H Arnold (EUA), George P Smith (EUA) e Sir Gregory Winter (BRI) foram laureados com o Prémio Nobel da Química 2018 por usarem os princípios da evolução para produzirem novos enzimas e anticorpos.

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.
