translated from Spanish: Nobel Prize in chemistry for advances in developing protein-based genetic changes and selection

“the winners of this year’s award have dominated the evolution and used the same principles – genetic changes and selection – to develop proteins that solve chemical problems of humanity,”according to the information provided by the nobel Committee.
Methods created by the award-winning “develop now internationally to promote a chemical industry greener, producing new materials, producing sustainable biofuels, mitigating diseases and save lives”.
The Nobel Prize in chemistry dealt this year in a half to Arnold and the other half shared for Smith and Winter.
Arnold, PhD in chemical engineering at the American University of Berkeley, conducted the first directed evolution of enzymes, which are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in living things, that have been used to produce from biofuel drugs.
Smith, PhD the U.S. Harvard University, developed the method known as “phage display”, where new proteins can be achieved when a virus infects a bacterium.
Winter, the British University of Cambridge PhD, employed the “phage display” to produce new drugs, something which today has led to the production of antibodies that can neutralize toxins, counter-attacking system diseases immune and curing even cancer with metastases.
The award for medicine opened on Monday the round of ads of this edition of these prestigious awards, followed by yesterday’s physics and Chemistry today, that will follow the peace and finally the economy, which will be announced Friday and Monday respectively.
Each of the awards is equipped with this year with 9 million kronor (1.02 million dollars), to be distributed where there is more than one award-winning prizes are delivered on 10 December, coinciding with the anniversary of the death of its founder , Alfred Nobel, in a double ceremony in the Konserthus in Stockholm and in Oslo City Hall, where is given and delivers the peace.
This edition of the Nobel is atypical, because not delivered the award of literature, postponed until the coming year by the scandal surrounding the Swedish Academy, the institution that awarded it.
