description
In comparison to biotin (Ka = 1015 M-1) and desthiobiotin (Ka = 1011 M-1), the guanidino analog of biotin (= 2-iminobiotin) shows an even weaker binding affinity (Ka = 108 M-1) for avidin, which is, in addition, pH-dependent. At high pH (> 9), iminobiotin-tagged proteins bind to avidin conjugates with high affinity, but the avidin–iminobiotin complexes dissociate at low pH (~ 4) or via replacement upon addition of biotin. This allows the purification of the captured protein without denaturation releasing biologically functional, iminobiotinylated-proteins from the avidin conjugates. Besides, 2-Iminobiotin reversibly inhibits nitric oxide synthases (NOS). NOS oxidizes the guanidino-nitrogen of L-arginine resulting in L-citrulline and nitric oxide.
