Example types with avidin
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Avidin denatures upon heating (cooking). (5 words)
The sample is incubated with streptavidin/avidin beads, allowing capture of the biotinylated protein of interest. (16 words)
To circumvent this problem, beads conjugated to monomeric avidin can be used, which has a decreased biotin-binding affinity of ~10 −8 mol/l, allowing the biotinylated protein of interest to be eluted with excess free biotin. (37 words)
Because both streptavidin and avidin bind biotin with high affinity (K d of 10 −14 mol/l to 10 −15 mol/l) and specificity, biotinylated proteins of interest can be isolated from a sample by exploiting this highly stable interaction. (40 words)
To circumvent this problem, beads conjugated to monomeric avidin can be used, which has a decreased biotin-binding affinity of ~10 −8 mol/l, allowing the biotinylated protein of interest to be eluted with excess free biotin. (37 words)
The sample is incubated with streptavidin/avidin beads, allowing capture of the biotinylated protein of interest. (16 words)
