5-Oxohexyl Biotin

Description:

5-Oxohexyl Biotin is a biotin derivative characterized by its unique structure, which includes a hexyl chain and a keto group. Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is essential for various metabolic processes, including fatty acid synthesis and amino acid metabolism. The presence of the oxo group in 5-Oxohexyl Biotin may influence its biological activity and solubility compared to standard biotin. This compound is typically used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving protein labeling and enzyme assays, due to its ability to bind to avidin or streptavidin, which are commonly used in affinity purification techniques. The molecular weight, solubility, and stability of 5-Oxohexyl Biotin can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other chemical species. As with many biotin derivatives, it is important to handle this compound with care in laboratory settings, ensuring proper storage and usage protocols to maintain its integrity and effectiveness in experimental applications.
