The use of bifunctional biotinyl compounds to determine the arrangement of subunits in avidin.

A series of bisbiotinyl diamines was synthesized with between 9 and 25 bonds between the carboxyl groups of the two biotin residues. It was found that only one of the two biotin residues could combine with avidin when there were fewer than 12 bonds between the biotin residues. Compounds with longer chains behaved in a bifunctional manner and gave rise to linear polymers of avidin, which were ch...

Electron microscopy of complexes of isolated acetylcholine receptor, biotinyl-toxin, and avidin.

The principal curarimimetic toxin of Naja naja siamensis derivatized with biotinyl groups binds specifically both to acetylcholine receptor, isolated from Torpedo californica electric tissue, and to avidin. Isolated complexes of receptor monomer or dimer, biotinyl-toxin, and avidin were negatively stained and examined in the scanning transmission electron microscope. We measured the angle made ...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

The use of the biotinyl estradiol-avidin system for the purification of "nontransformed" estrogen receptor by biohormonal affinity chromatography.

Several biotinyl estradiol derivatives have been prepared by coupling estradiol 7 alpha-carboxylic acid to biotin via different linear linkers. All these compounds exhibit a high affinity for the estrogen receptor as determined by competitive binding assays against [3H]estradiol. These compounds also displaced the dye 4-hydroxyazobenzene-2'-carboxylic acid from the biotin-binding sites of avidi...

Bifunctional Avidin with Covalently Modifiable Ligand Binding Site

The extensive use of avidin and streptavidin in life sciences originates from the extraordinary tight biotin-binding affinity of these tetrameric proteins. Numerous studies have been performed to modify the biotin-binding affinity of (strept)avidin to improve the existing applications. Even so, (strept)avidin greatly favours its natural ligand, biotin. Here we engineered the biotin-binding pock...
