The authors regret that are errors in the structures shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 of the published article. The changes made and the corrected figures can be found here.
In Fig. 2 the MMAF-based ADC is now depicted separately from MMAE-based ADCs because the linker is shorter compared with MMAE-based ADCs. The caption for Fig. 2 as included in the original article and here was correct at the time of publication. However, the authors would like to note that the MMAF-based ADC (Blenrep) has since been approved for clinical use.
In Fig. 4 the propyl carbon chain between dolastatin 15 and the maleimido group of compound 27a has been updated to an ethyl carbon chain.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
