2GFB - PubMed Abstract: 
Antibodies with catalytic properties can be prepared by eliciting an antibody response against 'transition state analog' haptens. The specificity, rate and number of reaction cycles observed with these antibodies more closely resemble the properties of enzymes than any of the many other known enzyme-mimicking systems.
