Synthetic Tuning of Domain Stoichiometry in Nanobody–Enzyme Megamolecules

This paper presents a method to synthetically tune atomically precise megamolecule nanobody–enzyme conjugates for prodrug cancer therapy. Previous efforts to create heterobifunctional protein conjugates suffered from heterogeneity in domain stoichiometry, which in part led to the failure of antibody–enzyme conjugates in clinical trials. We used the megamolecule approach to synthesize anti-HER2 nanobody–cytosine deaminase conjugates with tunable...
