The functionalization of proteins with different cargo molecules is highly desirable for a broad range of applications. However, the reproducible production of defined conjugates with multiple functionalities is a significant challenge. Herein, we report the dual site-specific labeling of an antibody fragment, utilizing the orthogonal Sortase A and π-clamp conjugation methods, and demonstrate that binding of the antibody fragment to its target receptor is retained after dual labeling.
