Reacción a "Reactions to Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Bertozzi, Meldal and Sharpless for click chemistry and its use in living organisms"

So-called 'click chemistry' has been in numerous Nobel Prize bids in recent years. In the early 2000s, Barry Sharpless - by the way, winner of another Nobel for asymmetric epoxidation reactions - introduced the seemingly simple concept of making reactions fast, with few reactants, with few by-products and, if possible, in an aqueous solvent. Basic science, which, as is so often the case, laid the foundations for so-called bioorthogonal chemistry, when Carloyn Bertozzi used the methodology developed by Sharpless to perform chemical reactions in living organisms, with enormous potential for the development of new drugs.  

The rest is the history of chemistry and science.
