Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link™ HPDP-Biotin, No-Weigh™ Format

Description
Thermo Scientific™ EZ-Link HPDP-Biotin is pyridyldithiol-activated, sulfhydryl-reactive biotinylation reagent that conjugates via a cleavable (reversible) disulfide bond to enable use in a variety of purification methods.
Highlights:
- Pyridyldithiol reacts with -SH groups to form a stable disulfide bond
- Absorbance of pyridine-2-thione leaving group at 343nm can be used to determine reaction progress
- Disulfide bond is cleavable using 50mM DTT (Part No. 20291) or 100mM β-Mercaptoethanol (Part No. 35600)
- Extended spacer arm prevents steric hindrance
- Must be dissolved in DMSO or DMF before use
- Biotinylation occurs between pH 6-9

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Both maleimide- and iodoacetyl-containing biotinylation reagents react with sulfhydryl (-SH) groups to form stable thioether bonds that are not cleavable. EZ-Link HPDP-Biotin on the other hand is a pyridyldithiol-biotin compound that reacts with -SH groups in near-neutral buffers to form reversible disulfide bonds. Because the disulfide group can be cleaved using DTT or other reducing agents, HPDP-Biotin is useful for labeling and affinity-purification applications that require recovery of the original, unmodified molecule.
We have no evidence that HPDP-biotin (or any pyridyldithiol compound) reacts with anything other than sulfhydryl (-SH) groups. However, many sulfur-containing compounds interconvert among several different forms. For thiouracil, with the different tautomers that are possible, the =S is in equilibrium with –SH, which can then react with the HPDP.
