New technology CF LINK for protein bioconjugation and structural proteomics

CF Plus Chemicals, a spin-off of ETH Zurich, IOCB Prague, and IMIC have developed a new technology called CF LINK for site-selective bioconjugation of proteins and also their structural characterization. The recently published, patent-pending technology allows to selectively prepare protein conjugates via their tryptophan residues and perform posttranslational modification of aromatic amino acids. Furthermore, it can also be used as a tool for the mapping of protein surfaces and studies of protein-protein interactions.
