Biotin Modifier

A variety of molecular biology assays and purification methods employ biotin to be used in non radioactive detection method. These biotin-modified oligos bind tightly to straptavidin, the streptavidin can then be labeled with fluorescent dyes and enzymes or mediate attachment to a solid surface. Biotin can be added to the 5’- or 3’-ends of an oligo using either a C6 (standard) or TEG (tetra-ethyleneglycol, 15 atom) spacer arm. 5' Biotin-TEG requires purification. Internal biotin modification can be introduced using a biotin dT base, which also requires additional purification.

Desthiobiotin is a biotin analogue that exhibits lower binding to biotin-binding proteins such as streptavidin. This biotin analogue is lacking the sulfur group from the molecule and has a dissociation constant (Kd) several orders of magnitude less than biotin/streptavidin. As a result, biomolecules containing desthiobiotin are dissociated from streptavidin simply in the presence of buffered solutions of biotin.

Purification

Desalt or cartridge (RP1) purification is acceptable for most common phosphoramidite modifiers. However, additional purification is strongly recommended for modifiers that require NHS-ester chemistry to conjugate a dye through an amine linker such as Molecular Probes dyes.

Minimum Guarantee Purified Yield

Due to the chemistry of many modifications, yield will be approximately 40 - 60 % less than a standard oligo. Please see our yield chart for details.

Quality Controls

Every oligo synthesized is strictly controlled for quality by using either MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis. Final yields are determined using UV absorbance at OD260 In addition, we perform QC methods tailored to specific modifications, such as OD ratio measurement where appropriate.
