QUICK LINKS
Photobiotin acetate salt is a photo-activatable biotin analogue used for the reproducible and scalable preparation of stable DNA and RNA probes. Nucleic acid probes prepared with photobiotin will detect as little as 0.5 pg of target DNA. Upon brief irradiation with light, photobiotin labels single or double stranded nucleic acids. The mechanism of action of photobiotin acetate relies on its unique capability to selectively bind to specific proteins and enzymes. Through its biotin moiety, photobiotin acetate forms interactions with biotin-binding proteins, while its acetate moiety engages with other proteins and enzymes. This binding phenomenon enables photobiotin acetate to function as a substrate or cofactor in biochemical reactions.
