A process for producing an antibody enzyme which involves an antibody
structure analysis step of confirming the presence of a catalyst triplet
residue structure wherein a serine residue, an aspartate residue and a
histidine residue or a glutamate residue are located stereostructurally
close to each other in the stereostructure of an antibldy anticipated
based on its amino acid sequence. Since the above-described catalyst
triplet residue structure is a structure specific to an antibody enzyme,
an antibody enzyme can be efficiently screened by using the same.
Examples of the antibody enzyme as described above include an antibody
enzyme against Helicobacter pylori urease and an antibody enzyme against
chemokine receptor CCR-5.
