Karplus, Levitt and Warshel win Nobel Chemistry Prize

Three molecular chemists won the Nobel Prize today for devising computer simulations that are used to understand and predict chemical processes, the jury said.

Martin Karplus, a US-Austrian citizen, Michael Levitt, a US-British citizen, and Arieh Warshel of the US and Israel, were honoured "for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems," the jury said.
