Conjugating multiple molecules to proteins in a single step is crucial for advancing pharmaceutical and vaccine development. Here, the authors employ the Passerini 3-component reaction with isocyanoproteins to efficiently create multivalent protein conjugates, enabling simultaneous functionalization of the protein with biologically relevant molecules, such as carbohydrate antigens, lipids, and polymers.
