Biotinamidohexanoyl-6-aminohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, a biotin-labeled peptide, has gained considerable popularity in scientific research. Its versatility makes it an invaluable tool for studying protein-ligand interactions, protein labeling, and protein tracking. It proves instrumental in cell imaging and flow cytometry, enabling the study of protein localization within cells. Biotinamidohexanoyl-6-aminohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester also aids in protein purification, allowing for the isolation and purification of proteins from complex biological samples. The mechanism of action of Biotinamidohexanoyl-6-aminohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester relies on the covalent attachment of the biotin label to proteins or other molecules. This biotin label is subsequently recognized by specific proteins, such as streptavidin and avidin, which exhibit a high affinity for biotin. This binding interaction facilitates the detection, quantification, and utilization of the biotin-labeled molecule in various applications, including cell imaging and protein purification.
