Chapter 122: Nobel Prize Nominations
“…… To sum up, when the crystallization of protein molecules is precipitated, there will be ......" Professor Kluge talked eloquently on the stage, and a large number of professors sat below him and listened attentively to his report.
In fact, there have been rumors in the chemistry community that Professor Aaron Kluge will be awarded the Nobel Prize, either this year or next year. But this year's Nobel laureate in chemistry has already spread the grapevine. Professor Rod Hoffmann of the United Kingdom and Professor Kenichi Fukui of Japan were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their respective theories to explain chemical reactions. Professor Aaron Kluger, on the other hand, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry the following year, in 1982.
Professor Aaron-Kluge used a crystalline electron microscope to study the molecular complexes of nucleic acids and proteins, which can be regarded as the interface theory of chemistry and biology. In fact, a large part of the achievements of modern chemistry laureates are in the field of biochemistry, and many of the structures or new discoveries of nucleic acids, proteins, etc., have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry rather than the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Junxin listens very carefully, and the ideas of any person who has great achievements in academia have his uniqueness, although Professor Kluger's field of research is not the same as Junxin, but there are many experimental ideas that can be borrowed. After Professor Kluger's lecture, Junxin also participated in the discussion of the problem very seriously and raised some questions of his own to Professor Kluger.
After finishing Professor Kluger's lecture, Junxin did not stay long, but went directly back to the hotel room to prepare the content of his keynote speech. After a few days of thinking and sorting out, the content that needs to be reported has been selected, but I am still a little uneasy, so I am still revising it repeatedly.
"Bang bang bang!" A knock on the door interrupted Junxin's train of thought.
"Who?" Jun Xin asked with a frown.
"It's me, I'm looking for you for something, hurry up and open the door!" The person who came spoke fluent Chinese, and when Jun Xin heard it, he knew that it was Zhang who was in the same room as him. couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, although the two had lived in the same house for a few days, they had never disturbed each other, and he didn't understand what Director Zhang was looking for him at this time.
Just hesitated, Junxin got up and opened the door, outside the door, Director Zhang looked excited, looked at Junxin with an incredible look, and before Junxin opened his mouth to ask, he shouted loudly: "Junxin, you have been nominated for the Nobel Prize!" ”
"Huh?" Junxin was stunned for a moment, then calmly opened the door, let Director Zhang enter the door and asked, "Speak slowly, what's going on?" ”
Although he saw that Junxin was very calm, Director Zhang was a person who had been trained in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so he naturally had a set of ways to observe words and looks, so he still saw the scene of Junxin's pupils shrinking sharply for a moment, and knew that he had been hit a lot. So he continued: "I was watching a TV show just now, and an old man appeared on today's program, called Max or Marx, the TV program you were interviewed on a few days ago, and then he said that he would nominate you for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry next year or later. ”
"It's Professor Max Peruz!" Jun Xin sat curled up on the sofa and said with a little confused eyes.
"Yes, that's him!"
"But why is that?" Jun Xin was puzzled. To say that quasicrystals can indeed win the Nobel Prize, but in the previous life, the discoverer of quasicrystals, Danielle Shechtman, won the Nobel Prize in 2011, and there was a gap of nearly 30 years. But the current situation made him a little confused, and thirty years now became a year or two in his eyes. Although Junxin can be called a big heart, it also makes him unbelievable.
"This is the first time that someone in my country has been nominated for the Nobel Prize." The more he spoke, the happier he became, as if he was the one who had been nominated for the Nobel Prize.
"Oh, okay!" Junxin listened to Director Zhang's words a little absent-mindedly, and his heart was also at a loss. Director Zhang said for a while, and after discovering Junxin's state, he said goodbye very understandingly, leaving Junxin alone in the room in a daze.
Finally waking up from this state, Junxin hurriedly rushed out of the door, following the place where Professor Peruz lived in his vague memory.
As soon as he walked to the gate, Junxin was stopped by two reporters who appeared in front of him. With sharp eyes, he could see at a glance the logo on their bodies, the logo of Xinhua News Agency, which everyone in China knows and everyone knows.
In the 80s, the only Chinese media overseas was Xinhua News Agency. Other media do not have the support and foreign exchange of the state like Xinhua News Agency, so naturally they do not have those preferential treatments, and naturally it is impossible to go abroad as a common thing like later generations, and large and small media have a little overseas correspondents.
"Hello, may I ask if it's Junxin... Sir? One of the two people who stopped Junxin asked.
"Sir, I'm just a student. Is there anything you can do with me? Although he asked, he knew in confidence that nine times out of ten it was because he had been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
"Would you like to find a place to talk?" The man didn't answer, but asked, but Junxin didn't hear a hint of doubt from them. He shrugged his shoulders and led them back to his room.
"Okay, is there anything that can be said now? Know that I still have something to do. "Perhaps Chinese people will be ecstatic when they see the interview of Xinhua News Agency reporters, but it definitely does not include Junxin. What he wants to do most now is to ask Professor Peruz in person about the nomination for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
"It's about you being nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry." The man who had just spoken to Junxin continued.
"I also just found out about this, and I was just about to go to Professor Max Peruz to ask about it, who knew that you were here." Junxin said with a little impatience in his tone.
"Can you tell us about the cause and effect?" The man didn't care about the anxiety in Jun's confidence, and asked unhurriedly.
"I don't know the details, and I haven't watched the interview with Professor Peruz until now, and I'm not going to say anything about anything I don't know. If you want to know the cause and effect, then please come back to me after I understand the situation, okay? ”
