Abstract excerpt
Catalytic antibodies may be produced over the natural course of antibody-affinity maturation by placement of chemically reactive residues in antibody-active sites by somatic hypermutation or V-D-J-gene rearrangement. This hypothesis has received support from recent observations on the chemical re...
