Nobel prize for computational chemists

The 2013 Nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to Martin Karplus of Harvard University, US, Michael Levitt of Stanford University, US, and Arieh Warshel of the University of Southern California, US, for ‘the development of multi-scale models for complex chemical systems’. Their work in the 1970s led to the development of fundamental computational tools that are used today to model complex chemical reactions, such as the split-second molecular changes occurring during photosynthesis, or within enzymes and receptors in the body.
