Biotinamidohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester has been used in the biotinylation of antibodies.[1][2][3]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Biotin is a label widely used in several biochemical applications and has a high affinity for avidin. A spacer chain is required to reduce steric hindrance while coupling biotin (a small molecule) to biopolymers (large molecules). Biotinamidohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester incorporates a 7-atom spacer with the N-succinimide leaving group. It can react with a primary amine in the pH range of 6.5-8.5. This biotinylation reagent incorporates an aminocaproyl spacer and thus can reduce the steric hindrance in binding avidin to some biotinylated compounds.

PrPSc [abnormal disease-specific conformation of PrP (prion-related protein)] accumulates in prion-affected individuals in the form of amorphous aggregates. Limited proteolysis of PrPSc results in a protease-resistant core of PrPSc of molecular mass of 27-30 kDa (PrP27-30). Aggregated forms of PrP

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that functions as a prosthetic group in carboxylation reactions. In addition to its role as a cofactor, biotin has multiple roles in gene regulation. We analyzed biotin effects on gene expression in the yeast Saccharomyces
Avidin binding of carboxyl-substituted biotin and analogues.
Classically, one can increase the titer of an agglutinating or first antibody with an antiglobulin or second antibody. We have used an avidin-biotin system in place of antiglobulin to similarly extend the agglutination by an initial anticellular antibody. Erythrocytes were
