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.
HPDP-Biotin is a pyridyldithiol-biotin compound for labeling protein cysteines and other molecules that contain sulfhydryl groups. This reagent specifically reacts with reduced thiols (-SH) in near-neutral buffers to form reversible disulfide bonds. HPDP-Biotin is useful for labeling and affinity-purification applications that require recovery of the original, unmodified molecule. For example, a protein can be biotinylated, allowed to bind its interactor, then captured to a streptavidin column and finally eluted and recovered by reduction of the disulfide bond with dithiothreitol.
- Protein labeling: Biotinylate antibodies or other proteins for use in protein methods
- Thiol-reactive: Reacts with sulfhydryls (-SH), such as the side-chain of cysteine (C)
- Pyridyldithiol-activated: Perform reactions at pH 6.5 to 7.5 in buffers such as PBS
- Reversible: Forms disulfide bonds, which can be cleaved using DTT or other reducing agent
- Solubility: Must be dissolved in DMSO or DMF before further dilution in aqueous buffers
- Medium length: Spacer arm (total length added to target) is 29.2A0
Thermo Scientific No-Weigh products are specialty reagents provided in a pre-aliquoted format. The pre-weighed packaging helps prevent the loss of reagent reactivity and contamination over time by minimizing the repetitive opening and closing of the vial. The format enables use of a fresh vial of reagent each time, eliminating the hassle of weighing small amounts of reagents and reducing concerns over reagent stability.

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.
