Abstract:
Antigens capable of eliciting antibodies which can enhance the rate of chemical reactions at peptide bonds are disclosed. In particular, the rate of cleavage or formation of metastable peptide bonds, such as ASN-X, ASP-X, GLN-X, GLU-X, LYS-X, and HIS-Y-X, where X and Y are any amino acid, is enhanced by antibodies elicited by said antigen.
