Application Biotin-maleimide- 0.01 mg/ml in PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20, incubated for 1 h at room temperature can be used to detect deprotected cysteine thiols present on immobilized peptides1. Sulfhydryl-specific biotinylation reagent. Couples by highly efficient thioether linkage. Typically used to couple to intrinsic sulfhydryls, e.g. protein, and avoid modification of primary amine. General description Biotin-maleimide is a biotin specific thiol containing reagent used to biotinylate different proteins through artificially induced or natural sulphadryl group. It can be used as a universal, multipurpose, thiol-specific probe. Biotin-maleimide can also be used in dot blots to detect protein SH groups2. |
