NIST Colloquium Series: Applied Click Chemistry: From Dyeing Cotton to Drug Discovery

K Barry Sharpless, 2001 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, The Scripps Research Institute, is the featured speaker at the NIST Colloquium, December 15, 2006. He describes click chemistry as a molecular approach that uses the most practical or reliable chemical transformations. It's applications include nearly all aspects of drug discovery, ranging from lead finding through combinatorial chemistry and to proteomics and DNA research.
