BOC Sciences provides a full range of high-quality customized bioconjugation reagent systems, as well as customized synthesis and preparation of cross-linked functional biomolecules. Our expertise and experience in pharmaceutical and bioconjugation chemistries helps our clients to design the right combination solutions from the scope of the project.
Bioconjugation is a process of covalent binding of two biomolecules, including amine coupling of amino acid residues of lysine, sulfhydryl coupling of cysteine residues, and photochemically initiated free radical reactions. The product of biological coupling is a kind of biological conjugate.
The most common biological coupling is the coupling of small molecules, such as the connection of biotin to proteins, and the connection of proteins to proteins, such as the coupling of antibodies to enzymes. Other unusual coupling molecules such as oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, synthetic polymers: polyethylene glycol, carbon nanotubes.
The ability to produce functional biomolecules through bioconjugation has affected all disciplines of life sciences. With the development of new cross-linking techniques and reagents, new applications in ligand discovery, disease diagnosis and high-throughput screening are also developing through the development of new and unique biological conjugates.
