Streptavidin-biotin molecular complex. Molecular model of a single-strand binding complex of streptavidin (ribbons) and biotin (space-filled model,centre). Biotin is also known as vitamin B7. Streptavidin is a protein that is obtained from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii. It has a very high affinity for biotin,forming one of the strongest non-covalent bondings known. The complex of the two molecules is used extensively in molecular biology and bionanotechnology because of its resistance to organic solvents,other chemicals,and extremes of temperature and pH | |
