| Abstract: | The vast binding repertoire of the immune system has been exploited for the generation of tailor-made biological catalysts. A number of strategies have been developed to generate catalytic antibodies that carry out a wide range of reactions with exquisite specificities. The generation and characterization of these novel catalysts is not only providing new insights into the nature of biological recognition and catalysis, but may also lead to novel catalysts for applications in chemistry, biology, and medicine. |
