Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, a novel method for modifying functional molecules specific to the N-terminus of proteins while maintaining the activity of proteins without using non-natural amino acids was developed. By using this N-terminal-specific modification method, development of a novel method for synthesizing an antibody-drug conjugate in which an anticancer drug has been modified against IgG antibody used in clinical practice as antibody drugs was achieved. Furthermore, through these research processes, the findings on rational design guidelines for synthesizing caged antibody-drug conjugate could be obtained.
