Bioconjugation

Bioconjugation is the process of joining of biomolecules to other biomolecules, small molecules, and polymers by chemical or biological means to form a novel complex consisting of both molecules linked together. When forming such bioconjugates, the process can yield a composite having approximately equal proportions of each component or create a conjugate purposely designed to have more molecules of one component than the other. Compounds, natural or synthetic, with their individual activities, can be chemically combined together to create unique characteristics. Modified biomolecules may have diverse utilizations, for example, cellular tracking, enzyme revealing, protein distributions determining, biomarkers imaging, and drugs delivering. The formation of a useful bioconjugate begins by envisioning the features that are desired in the final complex and then choosing the components necessary to create it.

BOC Sciences offers personalized solutions for the conjugation of small molecules such as drugs, metabolites, and labeled compounds with synthetic or natural compounds for specific applications.
