Beijing time on October 6, 2021, the list of winners of 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced. German scientists Benjamin List and American Science Award David MacMillan won the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The two were awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of " in asymmetric organic catalysis ", with a prize of 10 million Swedish kroner (approximately RMB 7.36 million) .
21st century Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Since 1901. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded 111 times, with a total of 185 people winning the prize, including 63 awards in the field of chemistry, 27 awards in the field of biology, 19 awards in the field of physics, and 1 award in the field of agronomy. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry can be said to be the veritable Nobel Prize in Science. In the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, only one person won the Chemistry Prize twice - Frederick Sanger (Frederick Sanger) 1958 and 1980 respectively for insulin sequencing and DNA sequencing.
Currently, only Li Yuanzhe and and Qian Yongjian won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Li Yuanzhe in 1986 at the research on molecular level chemical reaction kinetics and D.R.Dudley Robert HerschbachD.R.Dudley Robert Herschbach from the University of Toronto, Canada and John C. Polanyi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Since the 21st century, the development of biology and medicine can be said to be changing with each passing day. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine that is awarded once a year is not even enough, so a considerable part of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to biologists. For example, the chemistry award in 2003 was awarded to "Research on water channels and ion channels of cell membranes of ", the chemistry award in 2006 was awarded to "Research on molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic transcription in ", the chemistry award in 2009 was awarded to "Research on structural and functional research on ribosome ", the chemistry award in 2012 was awarded to "Research on G protein coupling receptor research ", and the chemistry award in 2015 was awarded to "Research on cell mechanisms of DNA repair ". The 2018 Chemistry Award was awarded to "Directional Evolution of Enzyme and Phage Display Technology ", and the 2020 Chemistry Award was awarded to "HTM4 CRISPR Gene Editing Technology ".
