Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link™ NHS-LC-Biotin
Description
Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link NHS-LC-Biotin is a long-chain, NHS-ester activated biotinylation reagent for labeling primary amines (e.g., protein lysines), whose membrane permeability enables it to be used for general intracellular labeling.
Highlights:
- Extended spacer arm reduces steric hindrance when binding several biotinylated molecules to one avidin complex
- Less water-soluble than Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin
- Dissolve in organic solvent (DMSO or DMF) before use
- Penetrates cell membranes because it is uncharged
