2. p-Nitrobenzyl esters were not viable substrates, with catalysis being either too ineffectual to detect reliably or absent altogether, suggesting that more activated acyl donors were required. Conveniently chromogenic p-nitrobenzyl esters were chosen because of their residual structural similarity to the hapten and, at the same time, higher reactivity than p-nitrobenzyl derivatives: Hirschmann R., Taylor C.M., Benkovic P.A., Taylor S.D., Yager K.M., Sprengler P.A., Smith A.B. III, Benkovic S.J. Science. 265:1994;234.
3. The peptide bond formation was completely inhibited by addition of an amount of hapten 1 equal to twice the antibody concentration.
