The Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry is a section of Biochemistry (Biological Chemistry) of the American Chemical Society award (ACS) Science Award in the field of chemistry of enzymes .
The prize was founded in 1945 and was first awarded in 1946. It is intended to honor outstanding work in the field of enzyme chemistry. The winners are said to have not yet reached the age of 40 and to have carried out their work in a non-commercial area. The work must not have previously received any other award sponsored by Pfizer.
