dPEG®12 biotin acid, product number QBD-10197, is a biotinylation reagent containing a single molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer containing biotin on one end and a propionic acid moiety on the other. The terminal propionic acid group couples to amines directly using a carbodiimide such as EDC, and it can be functionalized as an N-hydroxysuccinimidyl (NHS) or 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl (TFP) ester for reaction with amines.
Amphiphilic dPEG®12 biotin acid can be dissolved both in water or aqueous buffer and in organic solvents. When used as a label, it does not cause aggregation or precipitation of biomolecules even when excess label is used. Using 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) chemistry, QBD-10197 can be coupled directly to free primary amines in aqueous media. These free amines can be on a protein, peptide, or the treated surface of a nanoparticle. The linker length of dPEG®12 biotin acid is longer than the linker length of LC-biotin and longer than the linker length of LC-LC-biotin. The performance characteristics of dPEG®12-biotin acid are quite superior to both LC-biotin and LC-LC-biotin.
Product number QBD-10197 is the precursor product of our popular products QBD-10198, NHS-dPEG®12-biotin, and QBD-10008, Biotin-dPEG®12-TFP ester. Many applications use this product to take advantage of the strong avidin-biotin binding interaction. Such applications include single-cell imaging of protein secretion, developing biosensors, isolating specific cell types by separation with magnetic beads, characterizing and understanding the streptavidin-biotin interaction, creating affinity-based probes, and assembling supramolecular nanostructures.
