DBCO-PEG4-Desthiobiotin is a single-ring, sulfur-free analog of biotin that binds to streptavidin with nearly equal specificity but less affinity than biotin (Kd?= 1011?vs. 1015M, respectively). Consequently, desthiobiotinylated proteins can be eluted readily and specifically from streptavidin affinity resin using mild conditions based on competitive displacement with free biotin. For pull-down experiments with biological samples, this soft-release characteristic of desthiobiotin also helps to minimize co-purification of endogenous biotinylated molecules, which remain bound to streptavidin upon elution of the target protein complexes with free biotin. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions. | [Uses]
DBCO-PEG4-Desthiobiotin is a PEG-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[1]. DBCO-PEG4-Desthiobiotin is a click chemistry reagent, it contains a DBCO group that can undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with molecules containing Azide groups. | [IC 50]
