The remarkably strong interaction between the small molecule biotin and the proteins streptavidin or (neutr)avidin is widely exploited in biological research 1. Biotin-binding proteins have been ...

Streptavidin and avidin are used ubiquitously because of the remarkable affinity of their biotin binding, but they are tetramers, which disrupts many of their applications. Making either protein ...

A novel streptavidin variant with improved biotin binding characteristics allows stable monovalent detection of biotinylated targets for imaging applications and can be recombinantly fused to ...

Recent research by Rafael C. Bernardi at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign examines why a common tool in biotechnology -- the binding of streptavidin to biotin -- shows different mechanical ...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of modern biotechnology, the precision of molecular tools determines the speed of medical breakthroughs. As a Global Leading Biotinylated Peptide Synthesis specialist ...

The term biotinylation refers to the process of binding biotin to either a protein or a nucleic acid, or in some cases to another type of molecule. An antibody is one of these potential targets, a ...
