LONDON — A trio of scientists who opened new doors in our understanding of the structure of proteins — the fundamental building blocks of biology — and even came up with ways to create new proteins won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday.
The prize went to David Baker of the University of Washington, and to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, who work at Google DeepMind in London. Baker will receive half the 11 million Swedish kronor (just over $1 million) prize, while Hassabis and Jumper will split the other half.
