A drug delivery strategy: binding enkephalin to asialoglycoprotein receptor by enzymatic galactosylation.

Glycosylation of biopharmaceuticals can mediate cell specific delivery by targeting carbohydrate receptors. Additionally, glycosylation can improve the physico-chemical (drug-like) properties of peptide based drug candidates. The main purpose of this study was to examine if glycosylation of the pept...
