Stereospecific antibodies, production

For the purposes of this treatise, the definition of asymmetric synthesis is a modification of that proposed by Morrison and Mosher [1] and as such will be applied to stereospecific reactions in which a prochiral unit in either an achiral or a chiral molecule is converted, by utility of other reagents and/or a catalytic antibody, into a chiral unit in such a manner that the stereoisomeric products are produced in an unequal manner. As such, the considerable body of work devoted to antibody-catalysis of stereoselective reactions including chiral resolutions, isomerizations and rearrangements are considered to be beyond the scope of this discussion. For information regarding these specific topics and more general information regarding the catalytic antibody field the following papers...
