Abstract

Recent developments in organic chemistry and biochemistry are shown as examples with which the classroom teacher can illustrate the main principle of catalysis, that catalysts stabilize transition states. Included are hostguest chemistry and molecular recognition leading to self-replication; biomimetic chemistry leading to artificial enzymes; abzymes or catalytic antibodies; agents that lead to the self-destruction of DNA; and ribozymes, or catalytic ribonucleic acids.
