Application

2-Iminobiotin has been used as a competitive inhibitor to bind to biotic binding sites on streptavidin in order to restore fluorescence signal.

General description

2-Iminobiotin is a cyclic guanidino analog of biotin that has high affinity for avidin at high pH (>9) and low affinity at low pH (<6). The proteins that are iminobiotinylated are selectively contained within the avidin column at pH 9 to 11 and may be eluted at pH 4 or by the addition of biotin. This technique may be very useful in the study of cell surface proteins by labeling and selectively recovering the components that are periodate-sensitive from intact human erythrocyte surface. 2-Iminobiotin reversibly inhibits NOS (nitric oxide synthases) via its guanidino group. It inhibits NO biosynthesis and may be important to understand the binding-site interactions for this important class of enzymes. NOS oxidizes the guanidino-nitrogen of L-arginine to produce nitric oxide and L-citrulline.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether combined inhibition of neuronal and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) by 2-iminobiotin, free radical scavenging by allopurinol, and non-protein-bound iron chelation with deferoxamine improved cerebral oxygenation, electrocortical brain activity, and brain

Layered thin films composed of avidin and 2-iminobiotin-labeled poly(ethyleneimine) (ib-PEI) were prepared by a layer-by-layer deposition of avidin and ib-PEI on a solid surface, and the disintegration induced by changing environmental pH and adding biotin in the solution was studied.

Affinity precipitation, especially secondary effect affinity precipitation, has repeatedly been suggested as a valuable technique for the biotechnical downstream process. The present lack of applications is related to the scarcity of predictable affinity macroligands and to the fact that rather

UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy is used to study the binding of biotin and 2-iminobiotin by streptavidin, and the results are compared to those previously obtained from the avidin-biotin complex and new data from the avidin-2-iminobiotin complex. UVRR difference spectroscopy

Previously, we demonstrated neuroprotection with 2-iminobiotin (2-IB) after cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI) in female, but not in male P7 rats. Given the different patterns of brain injury in more immature rats, we examined whether these gender differences could also be observed
