Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining at least one analyte of interest. The present invention further relates to a kit, a complex, a method to synthesize a complex and the use thereof for detecting the analyte of interest in the sample.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a modified antibody comprising a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein the heavy chain or/and the light chain comprises one or more first recognition site(s) for the transglutaminase from Kutzneria albida (KalbTG) or a functionally active variant thereof. The one or more first recognition site(s) are introduced at one or more selected position(s) within the antibody's heavy chain and/or light chain. The invention further relates to one or more nucleic acids encoding the modified antibody according to the invention as well as a covalent conjugate comprising (i) the modified antibody according to the invention and (ii) one or more non-antibody moieties (payload(s)) covalently conjugated to the one or more first recognition site(s) either directly or via a first linker. In certain embodiments, the non-antibody moiety comprises a therapeutic entity and optionally a second linker.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a system and method for the identification and characterization of a transglutaminase. Further, the present disclosure provides transglutaminase enzymes for forming isopeptide bonds, methods of forming isopeptide bonds in the presence of transglutaminases, and substrate tags for use with transglutaminases. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides glutamine-containing substrates (or Q-tag substrates) that are more resistant to proteases/clipping and therefore, more stable, than other Q-tag substrates, and their uses in substrate tags for cross-linking to an amine-donor tag via an isopeptide bond mediated by a microbial transglutaminase.
