Peptide Linkers: Vital Connectors in Biotech and Drug Design

Peptide linkers join proteins, antibodies, and drugs to enable targeted therapies like antibody-drug conjugates. They come in flexible, rigid, cleavable, and non-cleavable forms, with designs tailored by length and amino acid choice for stability and function. Applications span cancer treatments, fusion proteins, and vaccine development, optimizing delivery and reducing side effects.
