Amman, Oct. 7 (Petra) – This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to
French chemist Henri Kagan and Japanese chemist Kenso Soai for their
pioneering work on non-linear effects and auto-catalysis in
asymmetric organic synthesis.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Wednesday that their
discoveries solved a century-old mystery: how single-handed,
mirror-image molecules naturally emerge and dominate in chemical
systems.
Their breakthrough revolutionized methods for producing single-handed
molecules, a crucial process in modern drug design and pharmaceutical
manufacturing.
The two scientists will equally share the prize, valued at 12 million
Swedish kronor (approximately JD850,000)
