Invitrogen™ Biotin-X Cadaverine (5-(((N-(Biotinoyl)Amino)Hexanoyl)Amino)Pentylamine, Trifluoroacetic Acid Salt)

Invitrogen™ Biotin-X Cadaverine (5-(((N-(Biotinoyl)Amino)Hexanoyl)Amino)Pentylamine, Trifluoroacetic Acid Salt)

The primary aliphatic amine of biotin-X cadaverine can be reversibly coupled to aldehydes and ketones to form a Schiff base - which can be reduced to a stable amine derivative by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) or sodium cyanoborohydride (NaCNH3) to form new biotinylated probes. Carboxylic acids of proteins and other water-soluble biopolymers can be coupled to this molecule in aqueous solution using water-soluble carbodiimides such as EDAC (E2247).
