The HABA (2-(4-hydroxyazobenzene) benzoic acid) assay can be used to determine the extent of biotinylation. HABA dye is bound to avidin or streptavidin and yields a characteristic absorbance. When biotinylated proteins or other molecules are introduced, the biotin displaces the dye, resulting in a change in absorbance at 500 nm.
Avidin is a tetrameric biotin-binding protein produced in the oviducts of birds, reptiles and amphibians and deposited in the whites of their eggs. Dimeric members of the avidin family are also found in some bacteria. [1] In chicken egg white, avidin makes up approximately 0.05% of total protein (approximately 1800 μg per egg).
The Strep-tag system is a method which allows the purification and detection of proteins by affinity chromatography.The Strep-tag II is a synthetic peptide consisting of eight amino acids (Trp-Ser-His-Pro-Gln-Phe-Glu-Lys).
Avidin has a higher affinity for biotin (K d ~ 10 −15 M) but in contrast to streptavidin, avidin is glycosylated, positively charged, has pseudo-catalytic activity (avidin can enhance the alkaline hydrolysis of an ester linkage between biotin and a nitrophenyl group) and has a higher tendency for aggregation. On the other hand, streptavidin ...
