Nobel Prize for Chemistry awarded

Published: 9 October 2008 y., Thursday

Two Americans and a Japanese scientist have won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their research on a glowing green protein found in jellyfish.

Their work on PFP, or green fluorescent protein, allowed researchers to view previously invisible processes in biology, including the spread of cancer cells and development of nerve cells.

 

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences made the announcement on Wednesday.

 

The scientists, Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien, will share about $1.4 million in prize money.
