The Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry is the only professional award in the field of enzymology, and the winners so far include 76 scientists. In the past 70 years, the organizational distribution of the winners has the characteristics of agglomeration in the early stage. The proportion of women winning this award has increased significantly since 2000. In addition, nine Nobel laureates had won the Pfizer Enzyme Chemistry Prize before they won the Nobel Prize. For five of them, the Pfizer Enzyme Chemistry Prize was the first academic award in their research career.
