Application

(+) Biotin NHS ester or (+)-Biotin N-hydroxysuccinimide ester has been used:


  • to biotinylate Hyb 246-4 for surfactant protein D enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (SP-D ELISA)
  • to biotinylate proteins to form preformed complexes
  • to label and modify monoclonal anti-microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) (HG-HYB 7-18) to bind to alphaLISA streptavidin-coated donor beads

Biochem/physiol Actions

The N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS)-biotin modification helps in the biotinylation of the target lysine residue at its ε-amino group and identifies the surface lysine residues. It is used as a tool to identify the interaction of proteins with several biological molecules, like protein-polysaccharide interactions, protein-protein interactions, protein-nucleic acid interactions, and protein-ligand interactions. NHS-biotin may be used in the biotinylation of proteins and peptides. It is typically coupled to primary amine in the pH range of 6.5-8.5.

Expanding our previous finding of an adenosine-initiated transcription system, we now demonstrate that either the 5' site or the N6 site of adenosine nucleotides can be modified extensively without abolishing their ability to initiate transcription under the T7 phi2.5 promoter.
