Description:
Catalysis of amide bond hydrolysis is of singular importance in enzymology. An antibody was induced to an analog of a high-energy intermediate anticipated along the reaction coordinate of amide hydrolysis. This antibody is an amidase with high specificity and a large rate enhancement (250,000) relative to the uncatalyzed reaction. This reaction represents the kinetically most difficult hydrolysis reaction yet catalyzed by an antibody.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Janda, K D -- Schloeder, D -- Benkovic, S J -- Lerner, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Sep 2;241(4870):1188-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, Research Institute of Scripps Clinic, La Jolla, CA 92037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3413482" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
