Chapter 1 – Introduction to Bioconjugation

摘要: This chapter provides an extensive introduction to the vast field of bioconjugation. It begins by reviewing fundamental principles bioconjugation including major types conjugates and their components, then discusses best strategies designs for making optimal conjugate, finally examines application areas how bioconjugates are being used today. The divides into logical consisting Assay Quantification; Detection, Tracking, Imaging; Purification, Capture, Scavenging; Catalysis Chemical Modification, Therapeutics In Vivo Diagnostics; Vaccines Immune Modulation. Each these represents significant fields using that could literally encompass entire books in own right. purpose this is explore understand broad variety bioconjugate have been enormous number applications virtually every science. Such examples can be combined with information throughout rest book form basis designing new as-yet undiscovered applications.
