General description

Biotin NovaTag resin is an ideal tool for the synthesis of peptides labeled with biotin. As the biotin moiety is incorporated into the linker, its use eliminates the problems associated with biotin-labeling of peptides, namely poor solubility and sluggish coupling kinetics of biotin and its derivatives. Following peptide assembly under standard Fmoc SPPS conditions, cleavage with TFA affords the peptide labeled with biotin. For a recent applications see [1,2].

Biotinylation Reagents

Biotin-labelled peptides have many important applications in immunology and histochemistry, such as affinity purification and FRET-based flow cytometry, solid-phase immunoassays, and receptor localization, that exploit the high affinity of streptavidin and avidin for biotin.
