  • Identification and characterization of novel proline racemases and hydroxyproline-2-epimerases, uses thereof, and methods of identifying proline racemases and hydroxyproline-2-epimerases
    Publication number: 20080138352
    Abstract: This invention provides identification and characterization of racemases and epimerases and definition of protein signatures of those racemases and epimerases. This invention also provides identification of nucleic acid molecules encoding a peptide consisting of a motif characteristic of the protein signatures, and to the peptides consisting of these motifs. Antibodies specific for the peptides and to immune complexes of these antibodies with the peptides are also provided. Further, the invention relates to methods and kits for detecting racemases and epimerases using the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, as well as the peptides consisting of the motifs and antibodies to these peptides.
