1. A motif-specific, context-independent antibody that specifically binds a recurring kinase consensus substrate motif or a protein-protein binding motif, said motif consisting of up to four invariant amino acids, at least one phosphorylated amino acid, and optionally, one or more variable/degenerate amino acid position(s), said antibody specifically binding said motif in a plurality of different peptides or proteins from an organism in which said motif recurs, wherein said antibody is not a site-specific antibody. |
