General description
BM-Series: Biotinylated Monomeric Probes
These glycoconjugate probes have an elongated spacer giving them the possibility to bind avidin or streptavidin. The biotin fragment is hydrophobic enough to permit the probes to be adsorbed on SepPack C18 cartridges from aqueous solutions, and to be eluted by methanol, similarly to glycosides bearing a “Lemieux-type” space. The spacer is the normal spacer of the ligand plus the spacer of the biotin label –CO(CH₂)₅NH–.
Application
Glycoconjugates are used to study the functions of carbohydrates, carbohydrate-binding proteins in biological processes, and on the discovery of new carbohydrate-mediated interactions.
