描述

The Thermo Scientific EZ-Link NHS-PEG4 Biotinylation Kit contains EZ-Link NHS-PEG4-Biotin and accessory reagents required for 8 1–10 mg protein labeling reactions. EZ-Link NHS-PEG4-Biotin is a pegylated, water-soluble reagent for simple and efficient biotin labeling of antibodies, proteins and other primary amine-containing macromolecules.

Features of EZ-Link NHS-PEG4-Biotin:

• Protein labeling—biotinylate antibodies or other proteins for detection or purification using streptavidin probes or resins
• Amine-reactive—reacts with primary amines (-NH2), such as the side-chain of lysines (K) or the amino-termini of polypeptides
• Pegylated – spacer arm contains a hydrophilic, 4-unit, polyethylene glycol (PEG) group
• Enhances solubility – pegylation imparts water solubility to the biotinylated molecule, helping to prevent aggregation of biotinylated antibodies stored in solution
• Irreversible—forms permanent amide bonds; spacer arm cannot be cleaved
• Long reach – spacer arm (total length added to target) is 29 angstroms; this reduces steric hindrance when binding to avidin molecules

NHS-PEG4-Biotin is a long (29.0Å), pegylated, water-soluble, NHS-ester biotinylation reagent to label amines and maximize solubility of antibodies and other proteins. The N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS) group reacts specifically and efficiently with lysine and N-terminal amino groups to form stable amide bonds. The hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG)spacer arm imparts water solubility that is transferred to the biotinylated molecule, thus reducing aggregation of labeled proteins stored in solution. The PEG spacer arm also gives the reagent a long and flexible connection to minimize steric hindrance for binding to avidin molecules.

We manufacture biotin reagents to ensure the highest possible overall product integrity, consistency and performance for the intended research applications.

N-Hydroxysulfosuccinimide (NHS) esters of biotin are the most popular type of biotinylation reagent. NHS-activated biotins react efficiently with primary amino groups (-NH2) in alkaline
