Disclosed is a family of novel protein constructs, useful as drugs and for other purposes, termed "adzymes," comprising an address moiety and a catalytic domain. In some types of disclosed adzymes, the address binds with a binding site on or in functional proximity to a targeted biomolecule, e.g., an extracellular targeted biomolecule, and is disposed adjacent the catalytic domain so that its affinity serves to confer anew specificity to the catalytic domain by increasing the effective local concentration of the target in the vicinity of the catalytic domain. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these adzymes, methods of making adzymes, DNA's encoding adzymes or parts thereof, and methods of using adzymes, such as for treating human subjects suffering from a disease, such as a disease associated with a soluble or membrane bound molecule, e.g., an allergic or inflammatory disease.

L'invention concerne une famille de nouveaux produits de protéines, utilisés en tant que médicaments ainsi qu'à d'autres fins, appelée adzymes, comprenant une fraction d'adresse et un domaine catalytique. Chez certains types d'adzymes de l'invention, l'adresse se fixe à un site de fixation sur une biomolécule cible ou à proximité de celle-ci, par exemple une biomolécule cible extracellulaire. L'adresse est disposée de manière adjacente au domaine catalytique, de façon à ce que son affinité sert à conférer une nouvelle spécificité au domaine catalytique par augmentation de la concentration locale efficace de la cible à proximité du domaine catalytique. L'invention concerne également des compositions pharmaceutiques comprenant lesdites adzymes, des procédés de fabrication d'adzymes, des adzymes codant l'ADN ou une de ses parties, et des procédés d'utilisation desdites adzymes qui permettent, par exemple, de traiter des sujets humains souffrant d'une maladie, telle qu'une maladie associée à une molécule soluble ou liée à une membrane, par exemple une maladie allergique ou inflammatoire.
