About this Product
- SKU:
- 32-13042
- Additional Names:
- Avidin; AVD; AVID.
- Extra Details:
- Source: Corn (Zea Mays). Sterile Filtered white lyophilized powder. Avidin is a tetrameric protein of 4 identical subunits (homotetramer) which can bind to biotin with a high degree of affinity and specificity. The estimated molecular weight of Avidin in its tetrameric form is between 66-69 kDa. Avidin is produced in the oviducts of birds; reptiles and amphibians and is subsequently deposited in the whites of their eggs. In the chicken egg white; avidin makes up roughly 0.05% of total protein (approximately 1.8 mg per egg). 10% of Avidin’s molecular weight is ascribed to carbohydrate content which is composed of 4-5 mannose and 3 N-acetylglucosamine residues. Avidin has at least three distinctive oligosaccharide structural type which are similar in structure and composition. The dissociation constant (KD) of avidin is approximately 10-15M; making it one of the strongest known non-covalent bonds. Recombinant Avidin produced in Plants is a polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 66kDa and 16kda per subunit. The Recombinant Avidin is purified by affinity chromatographic techniques.
- Purification:
- Greater than 90% as visualized by SDS-PAGE.
- Shipping Conditions:
- Blue Ice
- Storage Conditions:
- Lyophilized Recombinant Avidin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks; should be stored desiccated below -18[o]C. Upon reconstitution Recombinant Avidin should be stored at 4[o]C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18[o]C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
