Vector Laboratories Biotin (Long Arm) Hydrazide 50 mg
Supplier: Vector Laboratories SP150112
Biotin (Long Arm) Maleimide is designed for biotinylating proteins, nucleic acids, or other molecules containing one or more thiol groups. It reacts under mild acid or neutral pH conditions with free sulfhydryl groups such as those of cysteine residues or sulfhydryls introduced chemically into proteins or other macromolecules. A 6-aminohexanoate spacer arm between the maleimide group and biotin reduces the possibility of steric hindrance and ensures that the biotin is fully accessible to avidin or streptavidin detection systems. The extraordinary affinity of avidin and streptavidin to biotin and the many biotin-avidin/streptavidin systems available make the biotin label ideal for a variety of applications including in situ hybridization, blotting, and affinity binding.
