New perspectives on catalytic antibodies.
This review will give examples of the structure-function relationships used in the design of catalytic antibodies, including not only ligand or hapten-based approaches but also recent developments in the generation of catalytic antibodies through protein engineering. Last, a thermodynamic analysis is presented, which confirms that some antibodies do indeed catalyze their transformations by stabilizing transition states.
