...chemistry prize, also worth $98,100, went to Christian Anfinsen, 56, of the National Institutes of Health, and Rockefeller University's Stanford Moore, 59, and William H. Stein, 61, for their work on enzymes. Made up of long, folded chains of amino acids, these proteins are essential intermediaries, or catalysts, in the body's vital chemical reactions. Anfinsen showed how the three-dimensional shape of an enzyme-critical to its role in those reactions-is dictated by the order in which its amino acids occur. Moore and Stein, studying the same enzyme-ribonuclease -ingeniously unraveled its sequence...
