Biotin pentafluorophenyl ester, also known as biotin PFP ester, is a versatile and highly valuable compound that is widely used in a variety of biochemical and biotechnology fields. Biotin Pentafluorophenyl Ester is a derivative of biotin, which is known for its role in various biological processes as a cofactor for enzymes involved in carboxylation reactions. In this ester derivative, the biotin molecule is modified with a pentafluorophenyl ester group, imparting specific chemical properties.
features：
Biotin Pentafluorophenyl Ester is a modified form of biotin, a B-vitamin, with a pentafluorophenyl ester group attached. The structure includes the biotin moiety, which is known for its high affinity for avidin and streptavidin proteins, and the pentafluorophenyl ester group, which imparts reactivity for bioconjugation.
Applications:
Biotin pentafluorophenyl is commonly used in protein labeling applications. It enables biotin to be selectively and covalently attached to proteins, allowing subsequent detection or purification using avidin or streptavidin affinity systems. It can be used in the field of medicine.
