Description
Quantity: 100 mg
Unit Size: Each
• Protein labeling - biotinylate antibodies to facilitate immobilization, purification or detection
• Cell surface labeling - biotinylates only surface proteins of whole cells because the negatively charged reagent does not permeate cell membranes
• Amine-reactive - reacts with primary amines (-NH2), such as lysine side-chains, or the amino-termini of polypeptides
• Cleavable - disulfide bond in spacer arm allows the biotin label to be removed using reducing agents such as DTT; only a small sulfhydryl group remains attached to the molecule
• Soluble - charged sulfo-NHS group increases reagent water solubility compared to ordinary NHS-ester compounds
• Medium length - spacer arm (total length added to target) is 24.3 angstroms; it consists of the native biotin valeric acid group extended by a 7-atom chain
