The simplified model of chaperone action when the inactive misfolded forms are removed from the reaction media preventing aggregation was developed using antibodies in combination with polyelectrolyte complexes. The antibodies, which bind specifically inactive dimers of glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase but not native tetramers, were coupled covalently to poly(methacrylic acid). The treatment of inactivated GAPDH with this conjugate followed by its precipitation after equimolar addition of polycation, poly‐(N‐ethyl‐4‐vinylpyridinium bromide), resulted in a significant increase in the specific activity of the enzyme.
