Disulfide Biotin Alkyne

Disulfide Biotin Alkyne

Disulfide Biotin alkyne is an azide-activated cleavable biotin probe that allows for efficient recovery of avidin-bound protein complexes in affinity-based assays. This reagent contains a biotin moiety linked to an alkyne group through a spacer arm containing a cleavable disulfide linker. Under reducing conditions (50 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol or 1% sodium borohydride), the disulfide bonds are cleaved, releasing the biotin tag and any avidin conjugate bound to it.
