16. Our postulate is based on the geometry optimization. The crystal structure of this antibody could confirm the position of this carboxyl group.

26. The bidentate conformation between water and isoxazole, where water hydrogen bonds to both atoms of the N-O bond in the reactant, could not be located. However, this conformation was found as a local minimum in the reactant complex.

38. Note Added in Proof: Unpublished experiments (Kikuchi, K.; Thorn. S.; Hilvert, D.) show that borine serum albumin also catalyzes the decomposition of substituted benzisoxazoles. Chemical modification and pH-rate profile suggest that a lysine is the catalytic base.
39. The optimization was carried out with the N3 NH constrained to avoid proton transfer to the acetate group. The same is true for haptens D and G.
