| | In Vitro Enzymatic Biotinylation of Recombinant Fab Fragments through a Peptide Acceptor Tail (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | We describe the site-specific enzymatic biotinylation of recombinant anti-estradiol Fab fragments through a 13 amino acid acceptor peptide translationally fused to the C-terminus of the Fd chain. |
 | | After the removal of nonbiotinylated Fab fragments by monomeric avidin chromatography, the overall yield of biotinylated Fab was 40%. |
 | | The site-specifically biotinylated Fab fragments (BioFab) were tested in streptavidin-coated microtitration wells, to which they were shown to bind linearly with respect to the amount of BioFab added, specifically as indicated by biotin inhibition, and tightly with a half-life of several days. |
