• Description: Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, also known as vitamin B7. Biotin is an essential coenzyme for five carboxylases in mammalian cells, which play key roles in the metabolism of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids (Zempleni, 2014). Biotin is also used in biochemistry in affinity purification of proteins in the biotin-avidin and biotin-streptavidin systems. Herein, free biotin is used in the elution step to release the recombinant protein from the resin (Diamandis and Christopoulos, 1991).
