Description
Streptavidin is a homotetrameric protein found in the culture broth of Streptomyces avidinii. Similar to avidin, one mole of streptavidin can bind 4 moles of biotin with high affinity virtually unmatched in nature. Streptavidin lacks the carbohydrate side chains present on avidin and has an isoelectric point close to neutrality. Therefore, it has a reducing nonspecific 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.
