Broadening the Aldolase Catalytic Antibody Repertoire by Combining Reactive Immunization and Transition State Theory: New Enantio- and Diastereoselectivities.
Nine efficient aldolase antibodies were generated by using hapten 1. This hapten unites reactive immunization and the transition state analogue approach in a single molecule. Characterization of two of these antibodies reveals that they are highly proficient (up to 1000-fold better than any other antibody catalyst) and enantioselective catalysts for aldol and retro-aldol reactions and exhibit enantio- and diastereoselectivities opposite to that of antibody 38C2.
