General description

D(+)-Biotin is the simplest reagent for the introduction of biotin to peptides, proteins and other biomolecules. In SPPS, it is best coupled using DIPCDI/Oxyma Pure. Biotin-labeled peptides have many important applications in immunology and histochemistry, such as affinity purification and FRET-based flow cytometry, solid-phase immunoassays, and receptor localization, that exploit the high affinity of streptavidin and avidin for biotin.,,,

Application

Some recent applications of D(+)-Biotin in SPPS:
  • In the high-throughput biotinylation of proteins. The approach for site-specific biotinylation of proteins is useful for various applications such as protein purification and analysis.
  • In the site-specific biotinylation of multipodal glycoclusters on a solid support. The synthesis of biotinylated glycoclusters, has important applications in glycobiology.
