Principles of Antibody Catalysis

  • Chapter
Supramolecular Stereochemistry

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 473))

  • 215 Accesses

Abstract

A wide range of chemical transformations can be catalyzed by antibody molecules elicited with rationally designed transition state analogs. The development of catalytic antibodies consequently represents one of the most versatile and general strategies for creating new enzymes to emerge in the last several years. Recent advances in the production and characterization of these agents are reviewed.

This contribution originally appeared in the NATO ASI series volume entitled “Chemical Synthesis: Gnosis to Prognosis” (C. Chatgilialoglu and V. Snieckus, eds.), 1995.
