Ds. Tawfik et al., FROM PHOSPHONATES TO CATALYTIC ANTIBODIES - A NOVEL ROUTE TO PHOSPHONOESTER TRANSITION-STATE ANALOGS AND HAPTENS, Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 76(1-4), 1993, pp. 383-386
We present here a newly developed approach based on DBU catalyzed tran
sesterification of bis-PNP-phosphonates, used for the preparation of p
hosphonoesters and their protein conjugates. These are being used, as
transition state analogs, to elicit catalytic antibodies having enzyme
-like properties.
