As a boy growing up in the late 1940s, K. Barry Sharpless fell under the spell of the coelacanth. The lungfish-like creature was believed to have been extinct for 6 million years until researchers pulled one out of the waters off South Africa in 1938.

But in the end he did find virtual coelacanths--biochemical treasures that took nature eons to produce.
