Last week we reviewed some key factors to consider when coupling a label (biotin) to a protein. The main factors considered were:
Topics: Protein Labeling
Biotin, a 244 Dalton vitamin (Vitamin H) molecule, exhibits an extraordinary binding affinity for avidin (Ka=1015M-1) and streptavidin. Biotin and avidin interaction is rapid and once the bond is established it can survive up to 3M guanidine-hydrochloride and extremes of pH.
