Heterofunctional azide and alkyne PEG-linkers have been synthesized and site specifically conjugated to scFv via a reactive thiol functionality; two scFv were coupled by copper catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to make divalent scFv (discFv) with an inter-scFv distance defined to provide divalent binding; antigen binding was maintained for the di-scFv construct and increased several times compared to that of the parent scFv; the cycloaddition reaction reported herein represents an important ligation strategy to covalently link macromolecular proteins and retain sensitive structural conformations.
