Method for labeling of compounds

• The present invention relates to site-specific labeling of antibodies or fragments thereof with one or more reporter group(s) in a way that does not affect antigen binding. The method for labeling antibodies and/or fragments thereof, comprises the following steps a) providing an IgG binding protein, which comprises [alpha]-helix structures, with a photoactivatable group and at least one label; b) forming a mixture of said IgG binding protein and the antibodies and/or fragments to be labeled; and c) UV illuminating said mixture for site-specific labeling of said antibodies and/or fragments thereof. The IgG binding protein is preferably the Z domain of Protein A.
