Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link™ BMCC-Biotin
Description
Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link BMCC-Biotin is a maleimide-activated, sulfhydryl-reactive biotinylation reagent with an extended spacer arm that contains a stabilizing cyclohexane group.
Highlights:
- Biotinylates at pH 6.5-7.5
- Reaction avoids potential modification of tyrosine groups that can inactivate biological activity
- Longer spacer arm than iodoacetyl biotin
- Must be dissolved in DMSO or DMF before use

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Both maleimide- and iodoacetyl-containing biotinylation reagents react with sulfhydryl (-SH) groups to form stable thioether bonds that are not cleavable. EZ-Link HPDP-Biotin on the other hand is a pyridyldithiol-biotin compound that reacts with -SH groups in near-neutral buffers to form reversible disulfide bonds. Because the disulfide group can be cleaved using DTT or other reducing agents, HPDP-Biotin is useful for labeling and affinity-purification applications that require recovery of the original, unmodified molecule.
