Then in 2009 and 2011, academic researchers published the crystal structures of the heptamers and pentamers that stitch together to form the capsid (Cell 2009, DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2009.04.063; Nature 2011, DOI: 10.1038/nature09640). That information, and another 6 years of structure-guided design, resulted in a drug candidate, lenacapavir, that is still undergoing clinical trials.

Its biggest market has always been cosmetics, but since the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic, it has sold shark-derived squalene to the pharmaceutical industry, Managing Director Alexis Margnat tells C&EN in an email. Over the last 15 years, the European cosmetics industry has abandoned shark squalane.

The antidiabetic drug saxagliptin, approved by the FDA in 2009, uses a nitrile to reversibly bind to a catalytic serine on a key protease. But reversibly binding to noncatalytic residues is relatively unexplored, Taunton says. His lab has made reversible covalent inhibitors using cyanoacrylamides as electrophiles.

Then, in 2009, a trio of papers reported spectroscopic evidence of O–H bonds in sunny areas, although researchers couldn’t say if these belonged to water or hydroxyl substituents on other molecules. In 2018, scientists reported ice in shaded craters. The 2009 results were based on IR signals near 3 µm because that’s what the spacecraft used could measure.

Moerner in 2008—collected chemistry Nobels (in 2001, 2009, and 2014, respectively). This trend extends to the first decade of the 1990s: four Wolf Prize in Chemistry recipients—Richard R. Ernst in 1991, John A. Pople in 1992, Ahmed H. Zewail in 1993, and Gerhard Ertl in 1998—went on to receive chemistry Nobels (in 1991, 1998, 1999, and 2007, respectively).
