Abstract: The abzyme (Se-6E8) with a higher thyroxine deiodinase activity was prepared by modifying the serine residues of monoclonal antibody (6E8) with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride and sodium hydrogen selenide, and the 6E8 against O-methyl-T4, which is a kind of thyroxine derivatives and was taken as a hapten for the first time. Two bands were found corresponding to the 5.5 kD heavy chain and the 2.7 kD light chain respectively by SDS-PAGE. The characteristics of dissociation constants, pH, and temperature were also studied. The results show that the activity of Se-6E8 is 2010 U/μmol protein , and the proper temperature and pH of the catalytic reactions is 57 ℃ and 8.2 respectively.
