title: Design of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate dependent catalytic antibodies.
abstract: Modern approaches for developing antibodies with coenzyme-dependent activities are discussed for pyridoxal 5'-phosphate dependent transformation of amino acid as an example. A new type of antigens analogous to enzyme--substrate compounds is suggested for the production of such antibodies. Approaches for the development of pyridoxal antiidiotypic antibody using analogs of coenzyme--substrate compounds and corresponding apoenzyme complexes are reviewed.
