Basics of Bioconjugation

Bioconjugation is the establishment of covalent bonds between a biomolecule, eg. a protein, a carbohydrate, a lipid, or a nucleic acid, and another molecule or material. This method is used in manufacturing of ELISA, ELISpot, WB, IHC, IF, or other antibody-based methods, such as Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Bioconjugation modifies the structures of the biomolecules, giving them new functions that they cannot exhibit by themselves.
