A variety of gram-positive and gram-negative intact bacterial cells have been analysed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) and shown to provide fingerprint mass spectra with discrete peaks being observed over the mass range from 3 to 40 kDa.

The chicken genome encodes several biotin-binding proteins, including avidin and avidin-related protein 4 (AVR4). In addition to D-biotin, avidin binds an azo dye compound, 4-hydroxyazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid (HABA), but the HABA-binding properties of AVR4 are not yet known. Differential scanning calorimetry
