The enzymes of Endo-S, PNGase-F, and AlfC were expressed in E. coli following the reported procedures8 (link), 37 (link), 42 (link), 43 (link). The glycoengineered azido-herceptin (7) and DBCO-MMAE (8) were prepared following our previous paper8 (link). DM1 (N2-deacetyl-N2-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)- maytansine), MMAE (monomethyl auristain E), and SMCC (N-succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate) were purchased from Levena Biopharma (Nanjing, China). Other chemical reagents and solvents were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co. (Shanghai, China) or Sigma-Aldrich (Shanghai, China) and used without further purification. The MAbPac RP column (4 μm, 3.0 × 100mm) was purchased from ThermoFisher. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were measured on a Varian-MERCURY Plus-400 or 500 instrument. ESI-HRMS spectra were measured on an Agilent 6230 LC-TOF MS spectrometer.
