The antibodies have epitopes that bind to the paratropes present on the antigens. When an antibody is made specifically to target a particular kind of antigen (say A), its epitope will be a structural compliment to the paratrope. When an antibody encounters two different antigens (say A and B) with structurally similar paratropes, it will bind specifically to A and non-specifically to B, as the antibody is not made in response to antigen B. This non-specific binding is referred to as blocking.

Enzymes

The regulation of gene expression is the central dogma of life. It is a series or set of mechanisms in which genetic information in the DNA expresses in the form of RNA or protein. Cells give gene expression b different mechanisms as transcription, maturation of mRNA, and translation.

During these mechanisms, different gene-regulatory proteins are influenced. For example, a set of RNA polymerases that are proteins transcribe the DNA molecule during transcription. Transcription factors are also proteins that control the synthesis of proteins in the cell. These proteins are an enzyme that catalyse the gene regulation in the human cells.
