Recent, non-classical, approaches to antibody lysine modification

Publication date: Available online 27 September 2018Source: Drug Discovery Today: TechnologiesAuthor(s): Guilhem Chaubet, Fabien Thoreau, Alain WagnerThis review will discuss recent development in the bioconjugation of lysine residues on antibodies. As several chemoselective reagents have already been developed for modifying amine groups, recent strategies now tend to aim at being site-specific. Four general methods have been listed: kinetically controlled, template-directed or enzymatic strategies as well as the use of chemically programmed antibodies.Graphical abstract
