Two-step lipid–peptide conjugation through pyridyl disulfide reaction chemistry. Lipid activation (Step 1, left) DPTE lipid is activated with mercaptopyridine to avoid non-specific unwanted reaction products, i.e. the formation of the symmetric DPTE disulfide. Lipid bioconjugation (Step 2, right): the activated DPTE react with the sulfhydryl-group of the peptide of interest
