Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies were prepared against a transition state analog inhibitor of chorismate mutase (EC 5.4.99.5). One of the antibodies catalyzes the rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate with rate accelerations of more than 2 orders of magnitude compared to the uncatalyzed reaction. Saturation kinetics were observed, and at 25.degree. C the values of kcat and Km were 1.2 .times. 10-3 s-1 and 5.1 .times. 10-5 M respectively. The transition state analog was shown to be a competitive inhibitor of the reaction with Ki equal to 0.6 .mu.M. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using rationally designed immunogens to generate antibodies that catalyze concerted reactions.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
