Best Stereochemistry
Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff was a Dutch chemist influential in physical chemistry during the early 20th century. His work established fundamental connections between thermodynamics, solution behavior, and chemical reactions. He notably investigated osmotic pressure and stereochemistry, significantl...
John W. Cornforth (1929-2015) was a prominent British chemist specializing in organic stereochemistry and biosynthesis. His significant contributions centered on understanding how molecules are built during biological processes, notably in the area of plant hormones like abscisic acid. He developed...
Sir John Warcup Cornforth (1917–2013) was an Australian-British chemist who received the 1975 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his detailed elucidation of the stereochemistry of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. His research specifically focused on how enzymes control the three-dimensional spatial arrangement...
Why this score?
Nobel stereochemistry work respected and influential, but less broadly iconic than leading organic theorists.
