General description

D-Desthiobiotin provides a gentle elution of Strep•Tag II proteins from the biotin-binding site of Strep•Tactin resins. The D-Desthiobiotin is offered as a lyophilized powder for preparation of elution buffer.

Application

D-Desthiobiotin has been used to elute recombinant strap-tag proteins bound to Strep-Tactin superflow high capacity resin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Desthiobiotin is an analog of biotin. It is a non-sulfur metabolite and a biotin precursor. It displays lower binding towards biotin-binding proteins when compared to biotin.

Components

•: 1 g: D-Desthiobiotin

Work from multiple laboratories has clarified how the structural domains of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) disable neuronal exocytosis, but important questions remain unanswered. Because BoNT/A intoxication disables its own uptake, light chain (LC) does not accumulate in neurons at detectable

The high-affinity binding of biotin to avidin, streptavidin, and related proteins has been exploited for decades. However, a disadvantage of the biotin/biotin-binding protein interaction is that it is essentially irreversible under physiological conditions. Desthiobiotin is a biotin analogue that binds
