Protein Biotinylation
This reagent is used to covalently attach biotin to proteins, typically through lysine residues. The resulting biotinylated proteins can then be detected or purified using avidin or streptavidin conjugates.
Nucleic Acid Labeling
It can be utilised for the labeling of nucleic acids that have been modified to incorporate primary amine groups, enabling subsequent detection or affinity purification methods.
Surface Immobilization
The activated ester allows for the covalent attachment of biotin to surfaces functionalized with amine groups, creating biotinylated surfaces for molecular capture or assay development.
Cellular Assays
Used in cell biology research to label cellular components or to study biotin-dependent biological processes.
