Harnessing a catalytic lysine residue for the one-step preparation of homogeneous antibody-drug conjugates

Current strategies for producing antibody-drug conjugates often rely on inefficient conjugation chemistry or on generating mutations in the antibody sequence. Here the authors demonstrate a mutation-free, single-step conjugation platform utilizing a buried lysine residue.
