Description
Summary:The transfer of a proton between a pair of atoms is a key to the working of many of nature's catalysts, the enzymes. Research conducted by Simon Thorn and associates that demonstrates that an antibody generated against a rationally designed model compound can catalyze a particular proton transfer exceptionally efficiently is described.
