Extractions: October 10, 2001 "Dr. Sharpless' creativity has helped the entire field of chemistry produce extremely useful molecules, including many different therapeutics, that continue to improve the health and enhance the lives of all Americans," said Dr. Ruth L. Kirschstein, acting director of NIH. "This year's Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine both beautifully underscore the value of basic biological research in yielding vital medical advances." The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm announced the chemistry prize winners this morning. Dr. Sharpless, W.M. Keck Professor of Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, received half of this year's chemistry award for his work on "chirally catalyzed oxidation reactions." Sharing the other half of the prize for their work on "chirally catalyzed hydrogenation reactions," are Dr. William S. Knowles of St. Louis, Missouri (formerly of the Monsanto Company) and Dr. Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University, Chikusa, Nagoya, Japan. Nearly all small moleculeseither natural or syntheticcome in two, "mirror-image" forms, much like a pair of gloves. When chemical reactions occur in living systems, only the "correct" form is made. In contrast, laboratory reactions nearly always produce a potful of both left and right "hands" of a molecule. The active part of most medicines consists of a single hand of a molecule. A mixture that includes the "wrong" hand of a molecule can be ineffective or even harmful to the body.

Extractions: Sharpless, K. Barry From 6th through 12th grades I attended a Quaker school on the Philadelphia city line. Twice a week the entire school attended Quaker Meeting, silent gatherings except when someone received a personal call to speak. I never got a call, but nonetheless my head was full: I thought about fishing and boats. Or else I thought about when next I could get from Philadelphia to our cottage on the New Jersey Shore in order to go out fishing in a boat. Beneath my picture in one high school yearbook it says, "I'm going to the Shore". While I had an overwhelming passion for fishing, school I merely enjoyed and I never planned to be a scientist. In fact, passion, not planning, is the engine driving all my thought and action. The almost unimaginably good fortune of my youth was that other people made such very, very good plans and choices for me. Generally speaking, colleges have the best undergraduate teaching, and universities, whose labs are filled by graduate and post-graduate students, have the best research. When I arrived at Dartmouth College in 1959, the chemistry department had a graduate program, which meant great teachers who were just as good at research. However, the program was small, and only a master's degree was awarded, so consequently professors were perpetually hungry for more manpower for their labs, more "hands". Undergraduates who performed well in lab courses were actively recruited to do "real" graduate- level research.

Extractions: From Scripps Research Institute K. Barry Sharpless, Ph.D., W.M. Keck Professor of Chemistry at The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology and the Department of Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), has been awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace, the prize recognizes individuals who, as stipulated in Alfred Nobel's will, "have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind." The prize carries a cash award of about a million dollars. Sharpless was awarded this year's prize in chemistry along with William S. Knowles of Monsanto and Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University in Japan for the development of catalytic asymmetric synthesis. "We are obviously delighted that Dr. Sharpless has received this recognition," says TSRI President Richard Lerner. "In my mind, it was inevitable that he would be awarded the Nobel Prize the extent and significance of his work are so far reaching. [Dr. Sharpless] has been recognized for his prodigious work by the scientific community for many years and has been acknowledged by the philanthropic community, most notably Mr. Sam Skaggs, whose contributions have enabled Dr. Sharpless to achieve many research breakthroughs." According to the prize committee, Knowles and Noyori shared half the prize "for their work on chirally catalyzed hydrogenation reactions." The other half of this year's award recognized Sharpless "for his work on chirally catalyzed oxidation reactions."
Extractions: From NIH/National Institute of General Medical Sciences Dr. K. Barry Sharpless, a long-time grantee of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a component of the National Institutes of Health, was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry today for his discovery of "chiral catalysts"molecules that enable researchers to selectively control chemical reactions. Over the past 26 years, NIGMS has provided more than $7 million in research grant support to Dr. Sharpless. "Dr. Sharpless' creativity has helped the entire field of chemistry produce extremely useful molecules, including many different therapeutics, that continue to improve the health and enhance the lives of all Americans," said Dr. Ruth L.

Barry Sharpless will become Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board State College, PA - February 26, 2003 Chiral Quest, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CQST) today announced that Professor K. Barry Sharpless of The Scripps Research Institute and Professor James P. Collman of Stanford University will join the Company's Scientific Advisory Board. Professor Sharpless will also become Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board. Professor Sharpless is the W.M. Keck Professor of Chemistry at The Scripps Research Institute and a member of the Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology. Sharpless is the world authority in chiral chemistry and is best known for discovering three "name" reactions - the general methods for catalytic asymmetric epoxidation, dihydroxlylation, and aminohydroxylation. His 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry citation says, "many scientists have identified Sharpless's epoxidation [discovered in 1980 with Tsutomu Katsuki] as the most important discovery in the field of synthesis during the past few decades." In 2000, Chemical and Engineering News selected him as one of the top 75 most influential chemists in the 20th century. In 2001, Sharpless received not only the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, but also Israel's Wolf Prize, the Benjamin Franklin Medal and the John Scott Medal Award. After receiving his Stanford Ph.D. from Professor E. E. vanTamelen, he did postdoctoral work with Professor James Collman at Stanford University and Nobel Laureate Konrad Bloch at Harvard University. Sharpless began his academic career as an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Except for several years in the 1970s when he was a member of Stanford's chemistry faculty, Sharpless remained at MIT until moving to the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in 1990.
