Professors Ryoji Noyori (Japan), K. Barry Sharpless
(USA) and William S. Knowles (USA) shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
2001. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Prize
for their development of catalytic asymmetric synthesis. The achievements
of these three chemists are of great importance for academic research,
and for the development of new drugs and materials which are being
used in many industrial syntheses of pharmaceutical products and
other biologically active substances.
Professors Ryoji Noyori and K. Barry Sharpless
will deliver lectures at 3:00p.m. on 29 April 2002 at Chiang Chen
Studio Theatre, PolyU.
二零零一年日本的野依良治（Ryoji Noyori），美國的威廉諾爾斯（William S. Knowles）和貝利夏普里斯（K.
Barry Sharpless）獲頒諾貝爾化學獎 ，以表彰他們在不對稱催化反應與合成的基礎及應用研究的重大貢獻。這些化學家分別在1960及1980年代研究出不對稱性過渡金屬觸媒以催化方法來合成手性光學活性分子，他們的卓越研究成就為今日新藥製造奠定了重要的基礎。現今一些藥品的工業合成物中如抗生素、消炎藥和心臟病藥等即是運用他們的研究成果。
