PCB-modified BSA could serve as a stable, food-compatible carrier of bioactive PCB, but also bind other ligands that would be protected from oxidative damage due to the high antioxidant potential of covalently bound PCB. Thiolation by TR is, at the same time, a simple method for the covalent functionalization of virtually any protein by bioactive PCB or for obtaining PCB-based fluorescent probes. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
