Avidin is a glycoprotein found in chicken egg white, that sequesters the vitamin biotin. Here we show that when present in maize at levels of ≥100 p.p.m., avidin is toxic to and prevents development ...

The analysis of molecular interactions is a key area of research in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields. Molecular recognition at solid surfaces forms the basis of a large number ...

Biotin can amplify signals by forming complexes of large size with avidin or streptavidin. There are several techniques that use biotinylated secondary antibodies for this purpose, which are dealt ...
