چکیده
A biotinylated Gd-DTPA complex is designed to study the biotin-avidin complexation using the longitudinal relaxivity of this new MRI label, which illustrates the use of MRI contrast agents to probe the formation of supramolecular assemblies in water.

Magnetic resonance imaging visualization of targeted cells by the internalization of supramolecular adducts formed between avidin and biotinylated Gd chelates
The high binding affinity between avidin and biotin has been exploited to develop a procedure for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visualization of target cells. SHIN3 and PANC1 tumor cell lines have been used as target cells because they possess on their membranes galactosyl receptors able to bind avidin molecules. Avidin–Gd chelate adducts have been built by using two Gd complexes containing ...
متن کاملDesign, synthesis, and evaluation of VEGFR-targeted macromolecular MRI contrast agent based on biotin–avidin-specific binding
Developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents with high relaxivity and specificity was essential to increase MRI diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy. In this study, the MRI contrast agent, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-targeted poly (l-lysine) (PLL)-diethylene triamine pentacetate acid (DTPA)-gadolinium (Gd) (VEGFR-targeted PLL-DTPA-Gd, VPDG), was designed an...

Protein synthesis is one of the most complex cellular processes, involving numerous translation components that interact in multiple sequential steps. The most complex stage in protein synthesis is the initiation process. The basal set of factors required for translation initiation has been determined, and biochemical, genetic, and structural studies are now beginning to reveal details of their...
متن کاملThermal-induced Immuno-nephelometry Using Gold Nanoparticles Conjugated with a Thermoresponsive Polymer for the Detection of Avidin.
Thermoresponsive immunonephelometry was achieved with biotinylated poly(acrylate) and thermoresponsive gold nanocomposites composed of 13-nm gold nanoparticles and thermoresponsive polymers containing triethylenetetramine and biotin groups. The avidin-biotin interaction was used to model an immunoreaction in order to demonstrate thermoresponsive immunonephelometry. In the absence of avidin, pos...
متن کاملEasily reversible desthiobiotin binding to streptavidin, avidin, and other biotin-binding proteins: uses for protein labeling, detection, and isolation.
The high-affinity binding of biotin to avidin, streptavidin, and related proteins has been exploited for decades. However, a disadvantage of the biotin/biotin-binding protein interaction is that it is essentially irreversible under physiological conditions. Desthiobiotin is a biotin analogue that binds less tightly to biotin-binding proteins and is easily displaced by biotin. We synthesized an ...
