Nobel Prize

English The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2002 The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2002 is being shared between scientists in two important fields: mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The Laureates, John B. Fenn and Koichi Tanaka (for MS) and Kurt Wüthrich (for NMR), have contributed in different ways to the further development…

Swedish Populärvetenskaplig information 9 oktober 2002 Nobelpriset i kemi 2002 delas mellan forskare som vidareutvecklat två viktiga analysmetoder: masspektrometri (MS) och kärnmagnetisk resonans (NMR). Pristagarna John B. Fenn och Koichi Tanaka (båda för MS) samt Kurt Wüthrich (för NMR) har på olika sätt bidragit till att vidareutveckla dessa metoder till att omfatta biologiska makromolekyler. Detta…
