摘要
The high affinity (k(d) = similar to 10(-15) M) of streptavidin and avidin for biotin is key to a large number of biological applications and is essentially irreversible unless the complex is exposed to harsh conditions (e.g. heat (100 degrees C for 10 min)), detergents, and/or denaturants which damage macromolecules. Thus, high binding affinity becomes a disadvantage when a biotinylated target must be released for further processing. This work describes relatively mild conditions that release biotin and mono- and bis-biotinylated macromolecules from immobilized streptavidin on monodispersed magnetic beads. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
