Biotin n hydroxysuccinimide ester biotin nhs

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The (+)-biotin N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (biotin-NHS) is a biotinylation reagent. It is a derivative of the vitamin biotin that can be used to covalently attach biotin moieties to target molecules, such as proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules, through the reaction of the N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester with primary amines.

A mixture of PBS and DMSO solution (SIGMA-ALDRICH, St. Louis, United States) was prepared in a 3:1 ratio. (+)-biotin N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (biotin-NHS; SIGMA-ALDRICH) was added to the mixture to prepare a 1 mg/mL solution. The solution was stirred with the microspheres at room temperature for 4 h to allow biotin to adhere to the surface of the microspheres, and then washed three times with the PBS solution. Subsequently, the reacted microspheres were immersed in a solution of Streptavidin (SAV; Roche, Mannheim, Germany) at a concentration of 50 μg/mL at room temperature for 15 min, and the unreacted SAV was washed with PBS. The biotinylated p75NTR antibody (1 mg/mL) (Bioss, Beijing, China) was then incubated with the microspheres at room temperature for 30 min. After washing three times with PBS, microspheres with surface-modified p75NTR antibody were obtained. The results of antibody conjugation were evaluated using secondary-labeled antibody Cy3 (Invitrogen, Waltham, United States). Observations were conducted under a fluorescence microscope (IX73, Olympus, Japan) to examine the microspheres.

For the biotinylation of human proteins, 100 µg aliquots of HPG or HK proteins (Enzyme Research Laboratories, South Bend, IN, USA) were incubated for 4 h at 4 °C in 250 µL of 0.1 M NaHCO3 buffer with 2 µL of biotin N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS-biotin; Sigma) dissolved in dimethylformamide (1 mg/100 µL). The proteins were then dialyzed against PBS buffer, pH 7.4 for 48 h.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
