Abstract excerpt
Kemp eliminases represent the most successful class of computationally designed enzymes, with rate accelerations of up to 109-fold relative to the rate of the same reaction in aqueous solution. Nevertheless, several other systems such as micelles, catalytic antibodies, and cavitands are known to accelerate the Kemp elimination by several orders of magnitude. We found that the naturally occurring enzyme...
