| Groundwater, too, is protected from contamination because avidin is a biodegradable protein. |
|
| The latter is due to the affinity of the egg white protein, avidin, for biotin preventing intestinal absorption of the biotin. |
|
| By cooking eggs, for example, you detoxify avidin, an egg-white protein that destroys biotin. |
|
| The endogeneous biotin was blocked by adding an excess amount of avidin followed by washing and addition of free biotin. |
|
| Interaction has been measured in this way for ligand-receptor pairs of biotin and avidin, complementary DNA pairs, and antigen-antibody pairs. |
|
| For example, fluorescent cyanine and related dyes can be attached to amine, hydroxy or sulfhydryl groups of avidin and to antibodies and to lectins. |
|
| This is because egg white contains a specific protein, avidin, that combines with biotin and thus prevents its absorption. |
|
| In the second step, an aliquot of the incubation mixtures containing C1-lnhibitor Reactant is added to microtiter wells precoated with avidin. |
|
| The reactivity could be weakened by pretreatment with avidin and biotin. |
|
| Avidin strongly binds to biotin in raw eggs and in doing so blocks the absorption of this B vitamin, but the bond is released when avidin is denatured through heating. |
|
| The intestinal absorption of biotin, a vitamin included in yeasts, is actually inhibited by an antibiotin substance present in raw egg whites, avidin. |
|
| Good examples of vitamin antagonists include isonicotinic acid hydrazide, aminopterin, dicumarol, and avidin. |
|
| A process for lysing liposomes, which comprises acting a lysis agent comprising a surfactant and avidin on a liposome membrane on which biotin has been previously affixed. |
|
| Use of avidin or streptavidin or a derivative thereof as an interference-eliminating agent to avoid unspecific interactions in immunoassays or nucleic acid assays. |
|
| Its first two commercial products were avidin and B-glucuronidase for use in the diagnostic and research chemical markets. |
|
| A spectrophotometric assay for avidin and biotin based on binding of dyes by avidin. |
|
| A chemiluminescent compound, having the formula: The chemiluminescent compound according to claim 1 complexed to streptavidin, avidin or to streptavidin or avidin complexed with an analyte. |
|
| A compound comprising a covalent conjugate of deferoxamine and biotin or derivatives thereof wherein said compound is stable in vivo and capable of binding avidin or streptavidin. |
|
| Further, the lab has created a hybrid material by combining the quantum dot with protein avidin and biomolecule biotin. |
|
| The avidin-biotin system is very general in scope, but the avidin protein can denature over time and attracts unwanted materials which result in artifacts. |
|
|
|
| Avidin is a biological molecule that binds with extremely high affinity to the small molecule biotin. |
