Two American scientists have won the 2012 Nobel Prize for chemistry for groundbreaking work on a key family of receptors that enable cells to sense their environment, the prize committee said.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement the 8 million crown ($1.2 million) prize went to Robert Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka for discovering the inner workings of G-protein-coupled receptors.
Chemistry was the third of this year's Nobel prizes after announcements for medicine and physics earlier this week.
Prizes for achievements in science, literature, and peace were first awarded in 1901 in accordance with the will of dynamite inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel.
