We analyzed the correlation between the conformational strain and the binding kinetics in antigen-antibody interactions. The catalytic antibodies 6D9, 9C10, and 7C8 catalyze the hydrolysis of a nonbioactive chloramphenicol monoester derivative to generate a bioactive chloramphenicol. The crystal structure of 6D9 complexed with a transition-state analog (TSA) suggests that 6D9 binds the substrate to change the conformation of the ester moiety to a thermodynamically unstable twisted conformation, ...[more]
