Stockholm: Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka, both from universities in the US,
won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, announced Staffan Normark,
permanent secretary of Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Wednesday.
They got the award "for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors",
Xinhua quoted Normark as saying.
This was the third of this year's crop of Nobel prizes. All but
one of the prizes were established by the 19th century dynamite
millionaire Alfred Nobel. The economics award was created by
Sweden's central bank in 1968.
The prizes have been awarded since 1901. Each prize consists of a
medal, a personal diploma and a cash award. This years's cash
award is 8 million Swedish kronor (about 1 million US dollars).

Despite his failures, more due to the non co-operation of his team
