Extractions: The 2001 Nobel Prize for chemistry honours work that allows scientists to make only one version of a molecule that has mirrored forms. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences picked out Americans William S Knowles and K Barry Sharpless and Ryoji Noyori of Japan for their pioneering efforts in this field. The atoms in certain molecules can often take up two different configurations that are mirror images of each other - just as four fingers and a thumb can be arranged into a left hand or a right hand. Cells generally respond to only one of the shapes, while the other form can, in extreme cases, be harmful. The thalidomide disaster in the 1960s resulted from the use of a molecule with the wrong handedness. Drug products Knowles, Sharpless and Noyori were responsible for developments that now mean pharmaceutical companies can choose the specific shape they want of a particular molecule and synthesise only that version. The academy said the results of the laureates' basic research were being used in a number of drug products like antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and heart medicines.

Extractions: By Solana Pyne The difference between a left and a right hand might not seem very dramatic, but when it comes to chemicals, such differences in orientation distinguish between a drug that heals and one that hurts. Molecules that exist in two mirror-image forms are called chiral. Though they comprise the same atoms, each mirror image reacts differentlyespecially in the human body, which is partial to chiral molecules. In the case of the drug Thalidomide, used in the 1960s to relieve morning sickness in pregnant women, one form alleviated nausea while the other caused birth defects. Yet, prior to the work of this year's chemistry Nobel Prize winners, scientists were unable to direct reactions to yield one form of chiral molecule and not the other. The average toss-the-ingredients-together type of chemical reaction yields nearly equal amounts of both forms. While working for the biotech firm Monsanto, prizewinner William Knowles developed a catalytic molecule that prodded reactions to yield a product composed almost entirely of one mirror image. The catalyst adds hydrogen atoms in a way that twists the atoms into the desired mirror-image form. Monsanto used the catalyst and associated processes to make L-dopa, a drug used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Its mirror form, D-dopa, is toxic. Knowles's corecipient, Ryoji Noyori, director of the Research Center for Materials Science at Nagoya University in Japan, fine-tuned the process, creating similar catalysts that were even better at directing the reaction to yield only one mirror image.

Extractions: Leland Hartwell (born 1939), Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, USA, is awarded for his discoveries of a specific class of genes that control the cell cycle. One of these genes called "start" was found to have a central role in controlling the first step of each cell cycle. Hartwell also introduced the concept "checkpoint", a valuable aid to understanding the cell cycle. Paul Nurse (born 1949), Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London, identified, cloned and characterized with genetic and molecular methods, one of the key regulators of the cell cycle, CDK (cyclin dependent kinase). He showed that the function of CDK was highly conserved during evolution. CDK drives the cell through the cell cycle by chemical modification (phosphorylation) of other proteins.

More information about the nature and previous recipients of this award can be found at the address: http://www.nacatsoc.org I am writing to let you know that Prof. Rice and I have developed an interesting method of doing solid/fluid kinetics of the sort that may be of benefit to people doing fluid/solid reactions, desorption studies or TPD work in general. Our initial work in this area was introduced at the Adsorption Conference in Lyon in 2000 and the following year in our book "Experimental Methods in Kinetic Studies" . We have further developed this aspect of temperature scanning applications and are now able to calculate from a single TPD-like adsorption/desorption run: the "effective" void volume of the reactor

Extractions: MANY naturally occurring molecules, particularly biological molecules, are found in two forms that are mirror images of each other, just as human hands mirror each other. Such molecules are chiral or handed, derived from the Greek word cheir, meaning hand. The two forms are called enantiomers. The amino acid alanine, for example, occurs as S-alanine and R-alanine. When the molecule is produced in the laboratory under normal conditions, a mixture containing equal amounts of the two enantiomers is obtained. That is, the synthesis is symmetrical. Asymmetric synthesis concerns the production of one of the enantiomers in excess over the other. In many applications, particularly pharmaceuticals, asymmetric synthesis is very important because, while one form may be beneficial to health, the other may even be harmful, as in the case of thalidomide. One form of this drug was known to prevent nausea in pregnant women while the other was found to cause foetal damage. For many biological molecules, nature seems to prefer one form over the other. In plant and animal systems amino acids, peptides, enzymes and other proteins, nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA and carbohydrates occur as only one kind of enantiomer. Receptors in human cells too are chiral and so they, like the glove to a hand, prefer to bind only to one form. In fact, the two enantiomers can have different effects on the cells. Limonene, for example, is chiral and occurs as S-limonene and R-limonene which produce quite different sensations in our olfactory cells. The former smells of lemons and the latter of oranges. Therefore, it becomes important to be able to produce the two enantiomers in pure and unmixed form. This is particularly important in the case of drugs, the active ingredients in many of which are chiral molecules.

Extractions: 27 September 2002 Nobel prize-winning chemist John Cornforth will lend his name to a foundation being launched at the end of this month as part of the University's sesquicentenary celebrations. The Cornforth Foundation will support teaching in the area of organic chemistry pioneered by Sir John Cornforth and his wife Rita, and assist in providing funding for School of Chemistry appointments. It will also promote seminars, courses and workshops. John Cornforth holding a photograph of another Sydney Nobel Prize winner, Robert Robinson. The inaugural Cornforth Foundation lecturers will be Professor K. Barry Sharpless and Professor Craig J. Hawker. Professor Sharpless is the W. M. Keck Professor of Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California, and a world authority in asymmetric catalysis. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001 for his work on chirally catalysed oxidation reactions. Professor Hawker, who was born in Australia, works at the NSF Centre for Polymer Interfaces and Macromolecular Assemblies at the IBM Almaden Research Centre. He is a world authority in nanotechnology and materials chemistry.
