Conjugation and Labeling of Molecules: A Burgeoning Approach in Therapeutics Development and Molecular Imaging

Roots Analysis

Conjugation is the process of formation of a single, stable hybrid, wherein one of the entities is a molecule, such as protein, antibody, peptide and small molecule. Bioconjugation is a subset of conjugation where one of the entity is a biomolecule, such as protein or an antibody.
