Relying on our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and comprehensive experience in conjugation technologies, BOC Sciences provides conjugation services to combine oligonucleotides with proteins. We have the capability and confidence to meet your needs for novel conjugates.
Protein-oligonucleotide conjugation is a process of attaching a short, single-stranded DNA molecule (oligonucleotide) to a protein molecule (such as an antibody or enzyme).
Protein-oligonucleotide conjugation can be accomplished through various methods, such as chemical, enzymatic, and hybridization-based approaches. Chemical conjugation entails employing reactive chemicals to establish a covalent linkage between the protein and oligonucleotide, while enzymatic conjugation employs enzymes to catalyze the bond formation. Meanwhile, hybridization-based conjugation relies on the complementary base pairing between a specific region of the oligonucleotide and the protein.
The conjugation of proteins and oligonucleotides has a broad spectrum of uses, such as drug delivery, diagnostics, and therapeutics. In drug delivery, these conjugates can be utilized to enhance the effectiveness of drugs and minimize adverse reactions by targeting particular cells or tissues. In diagnostics, they can detect specific biomolecules, for example, proteins or nucleic acids, in biological specimens. In therapy, they can control gene expression or hinder specific disease-causing proteins.
Despite its many applications, protein-oligonucleotide conjugation poses some challenges. One of the main challenges is achieving site-specific binding, which involves linking the oligonucleotide to a specific site on the protein. Another challenge is to maintain the stability and activity of the protein-oligonucleotide conjugate, as the conjugation process affects the structure and function of both molecules. In addition, the synthesis and purification of protein-oligonucleotide conjugates can be complex and time-consuming.
