ABSTRACT
Enantioselective antibodies have emerged as great potential biomaterials in the fields of immunoassays and chiral separation. However, cross-reactivity of antibodies to the distomer may severely restrict the application. Comprehending the interaction mechanism between antibodies and enantiomers could be beneficial to produce superior enantioselective antibodies. In this study, a pair of recombinant antibodies (RAbs) against metolachlor enantiomers at chiral carbon (αSS-MET and αSR-MET) were generated and characterized. The αSS-MET-RAb and αSR-MET-RAb showed comparable sensitivity and specificity to the parental monoclonal antibodies by icELISA, with IC50 values of 3.45 and 223.77 ng/mL, respectively. Moreover, the complex structures of RAbs and corresponding eutomer were constructed and analyzed, and site-specific mutagenesis was utilized to verify the reliability of the enantioselective mechanism elucidated. It demonstrated that the strength of the interaction between the chiral center region of eutomer and the antibody was the key factor for the enantioselectivity of antibody. Increasing this interaction could limit the conformational adjustment of the distomer in a specific chiral recognition cavity, thus decreasing the affinity of the antibody to the distomer. This work provided the in-depth analysis of enantioselective mechanism for two RAbs and paved the way to regulate antibody enantioselective performance for immunoassays of chiral compounds.
