ReadiLeave™ Reversible Biotin Alkyne
ReadiLeave™ Reversible (RLR) Biotin is a newly developed biotin derivative that has significantly reduced affinity to avidin (including streptavidin) to make the binding of RLR biotin and streptavidin readily reversible when needed. It is complimentary to the regular biotin and has a moderate affinity to streptavidin to ensure a tight binding but not too tight to be reversed in contrast with the regular non-reversible biotin. ReadiLeave™ Reversible Biotin Alkyne is an excellent building block to develop reversible biotin probes and products for biological detections and purification using the well-known click reactions (CuAAC). It readily reacts with an azido-modified biomolecule under mild conditions. The affinity between streptavidin and biotin might be the strongest non-covalent interactions known in biological interactions. Streptavidin, a homotetrameric protein, exhibits an extraordinarily high affinity for biotin. Each streptavidin monomer can bind one biotin molecule, allowing a streptavidin protein to maximally bind four biotins. The streptavidin-biotin interaction is highly specific and remains robust under a wide range of conditions.

Protocol for Target Protein Pull-down Assays
Section 1: Coupling RLR Biotinylated Protein to a Resin
- Select a streptavidin-resin suitable for your application.
- Wash and equilibrate the resin by adding 1xPBS or a suitable wash buffer.
- Add appropriate amounts of RLR Biotinylated protein and incubate for 30 minutes.
- Wash the resin to remove unlabeled protein and equilibrate with PBS.
Section 2: Pull-down the Target Protein
- Add a sample containing the target protein to the resin from the Section 1.
- Incubate for 60 minutes.
- The target protein will be pulled down by RLR Biotinylated protein resin from Section 1.
Section 3: Elution of the Target Protein
- Centrifuge the resin to remove the supernatant and wash the resin by adding 1xPBS buffer (pH=7.2~7.4) or a suitable wash buffer.
- Repeat washing as needed.
- Add elution buffer (4 mM d-biotin in 20 mM Tris-HCl Buffer (pH=7.5) with 50 mM NaCl) and incubate at 37°C for 10 minutes or longer. Repeat three times or as needed.
- Pool all the elution, and the target protein and RLR biotinylated protein complex will be ready for further analysis.
