Biotin nhs ester

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Biotin-NHS ester is a chemical compound used in various biomedical and biotechnology applications. It is a bifunctional reagent that can be used to covalently attach biotin to amine-containing molecules. The NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) ester group of Biotin-NHS ester reacts with primary amines, forming a stable amide bond. This allows for the efficient labeling of proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules with biotin, which can then be utilized in downstream applications that involve biotin-streptavidin interactions.

Purification and Labeling of Tubulin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Porcine brain tubulin was purified as described66 (link) and for fluorescence microscopy assays labelled with Atto565-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS; Sigma-Aldrich), or Atto647N-NHS ester (Sigma-Aldrich), or biotin-NHS ester (Thermo Scientific) according to published methods67 (link).
The sequences of all newly cloned constructs were verified by sequencing. All protein purifications were carried out at 4°C. Protein concentrations were determined either using a Bradford protein assay, or for tubulin, by measuring the absorbance at 280 nm. Protein concentrations refer to monomers, except for tubulin concentrations, which refer to dimers.

RSV prefusion F antigen trimer, EBV gH/gL complex, and a modified HIV Envelope GP140 trimer (426c TM4ΔV1–3) were produced as described (29 (link), 55 (link), 56 (link)). Stabilized influenza HA stem was produced from VRC clone 3925, derived from strain H1 1999 NC as described (57 (link)). All antigens were conjugated to Biotin NHS ester (Thermo Fisher Scientific) followed by tetramerization with streptavidin-PE, streptavidin-APC or streptavidin (all from Prozyme) as described previously (58 (link)). RSV F antigen was conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 NHS ester (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and used for flow cytometry.

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.
