In 2019,Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology included an article by Le, Quan; Nguyen, Vyncent; Park, Sheldon. Application In Synthesis of 5-((3aS,4S,6aR)-2-Oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanoic acid. The article was titled 《Recent advances in the engineering and application of streptavidin-like molecules》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Streptavidin (SA), and other related proteins, has been isolated from a wide range of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, frogs, fish, and birds. Although their original function is not well understood, they have found an important place in biotechnol. based on their unique ability to bind biotin mols. with high affinity and specificity. The SA-biotin interaction is robust and easy to incorporate into different designs, and as such, it is used when reliable mol. interaction is needed under poorly controlled exptl. conditions. There are continued efforts to engineer these proteins to modulate their size, valency, and affinity, since the optimum mol. properties vary depending on individual applications. This review will describe recent developments in streptavidin engineering to meet these requirements, including those that form novel oligomeric states, e.g., a monomer, have fewer functional biotin-binding sites, or bind biotin with reduced affinity. We also examine various reported applications of both natural or engineered SA constructs in cell biol., biochem., genetics, synthetic chem., cancer therapy, drug delivery, and nanotechnol. to illustrate the breadth of modern science that is advanced by the endogenous and engineered SA-biotin interactions. In the experiment, the researchers used 5-((3aS,4S,6aR)-2-Oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanoic acid(cas: 58-85-5Application In Synthesis of 5-((3aS,4S,6aR)-2-Oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanoic acid)
5-((3aS,4S,6aR)-2-Oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanoic acid(cas: 58-85-5) may be used to elute proteins from avidin/streptavidin resins. It has been used for culturing of oligodendrocytes.Application In Synthesis of 5-((3aS,4S,6aR)-2-Oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanoic acid The biotin/avidin or biotin/streptavidin interaction is utilized in many labeling and purification schemes.
