This report demonstrates how enzymes can inspire chemists to produce syn-thetic catalytic systems. Here by adding a flavin and thiamine to a synthetic receptor the rate of conversion of an aldehyde to a methyl ester is enhanced.

This report demonstrates that copper metalation of a porphyrin can be catalysed by a ribozyme. It also shows that synthesis of a smaller oligonucleotide with an identical secondary loop structure to the selected ribozyme results in a more efficient catalysis.

This excellent paper compares the catalytic activity of a germline antibody with that of an affinity-matured antibody, demonstrating that the affinity-matured antibody is a more efficient catalyst for an ester hydrolysis reaction. It also shows the crystal structure of the affinity-matured antibody bound to the hapten.
36. ••], showing by X-ray crystallography the structural differences of the germline and affinity-matured antibodies both with and without hapten. It indicates that conformational changes of the germline antibody are required in order to bind the hapten, however, no such changes are observed when the hapten binds to the affinity-matured antibody. This suggests that upon affinity maturation, the cavity becomes preorganised to encourage stronger binding of the hapten.

The authors demonstrate a method of direct chemical selection for catalysis from a phage-antibody library. This is achieved by releasing a reactive product, which is attached to a support, after the reaction has been catalysed, allowing the phage carrying catalytic antibody to be 'trapped'. The 'trapped' catalytic antibody can then be released and isolated.

The authors demonstrate that in at least one case - and by implication, more generally - a reaction can be catalysed just as well by off-the-shelf proteins as by selected catalytic antibodies. This paper suggests that precise positioning of the catalytic site is less important than cavity medium effects.
