Are chemical methods capable of precisely engineering the native proteins? Is it possible to develop platforms that can empower the regulation of chemoselectivity, site‐selectivity, modularity, protein‐specificity, and site‐specificity? This account delineates our research journey in the last ten years on the developments revolving around these questions. It will range from the realization of chemoselective and site‐selective labeling of reactivity hotspots to modular linchpin directed modification (LDM®) platform and site‐specific Gly‐tag® technology. Also, we outline a few biotechnology tools, including Maspecter®, that accelerated the detailed analysis of the bioconjugates and rendered a powerful toolbox for homogeneous antibody‐drug conjugates (ADCs).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
