Product Information

• Name: 5'-Biotin phosphoramidite
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Biotin phosphoramidite is a biotin-containing compound that is used as an extracellular probe for bacterial cells. It can be used to permeabilize cells, and it has been shown to have cytosolic uptake in various cell types. Biotin phosphoramidite binds to peptidoglycan in the cytosol of bacterial cells, and this binding induces internalization. This compound also has the ability to bind to peptidoglycan in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells, but does not induce internalization. Experiments with vibrio parahaemolyticus suggest that biotin phosphoramidite is a marginally effective inhibitor of this organism's uptake of unmodified peptidoglycan.
