Chemistry, Economics Nobel

Stockholm Oct. 8. Two Americans today won the 2003 Nobel Chemistry Prize for showing how water flows across cellular membranes and how cells communicate, achievements that provide glittering insights into the molecular pathways of disease.

``Peter Agre and Roderick MacKinnon have contributed to fundamental chemical knowledge on how cells function. They have opened our eyes to a fantastic family of molecular machines,'' the Nobel jury said.

Robert F. Engle of the United States and Briton, Clive W.J. Granger, won the 2003 Nobel Economics Prize for their work in analysing economic time series, the Nobel jury said.
