Description
Streptavidin is a homotetrameric protein found in the culture broth of Streptomyces avidini. Similar to avidin, a streptavidin mole can bind 4 biotin moles with high affinity virtually unmatched in nature. Streptavidin lacks the carbohydrate side chains found on avidin and has an isoelectric point near neutrality. Therefore, it has a reduced non-specific binding level compared to avidin. Streptavidin has been widely applied in various biological fields, such as ELISA, IHC, TRFIA, PCR quantification, single-stranded nucleotide isolation, biomolecule purification, and monoclonal antibody production.
Compared to native streptavidin, r-cSA2 is improved in stability and solubility by removal of the activity-unrelated sequence. Compared to r-csa (nrpa09), the amino acid sequence of this product does not contain cysteine, so it does not need reduction therapy.
