Short Description

Streptavidin is a tetrameric protein capable of binding 4 biotin groups to each molecule of streptavidin. While streptavidin has identical binding properties as avidin, it lacks the glycoprotein portion of the molecule and therefore shows less non-specific binding. Streptavidin is a slightly smaller molecule with a molecular weight of approximately 53.6 kDa. The sequence of avidin only shows 30% homology with streptavidin, and anti-avidin and anti-streptavidin antibodies are not immunologically cross reactive. Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is an enzyme that utilize organic peroxide compounds as electron donors.

Storage Note

Store as concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
