SNAP-Biotin® is suitable for applications such as biotinylation of SNAP-tag® fusion proteins in living cells for detection with streptavidin fluorophore conjugates or labeling in solution for analysis by SDS-PAGE/Western blot or for capture with streptavidin for binding and interaction studies.

  • It is a cell-permeable substrate (BG-Biotin)
  • It is based on biotin with an amidocaproyl linker
This package contains 50 nmol of SNAP-Biotin substrate, sufficient to make 10 ml of a 5 μM solution for the labeling of SNAP-tag fusion proteins in cells.

The SNAP-tag protein labeling system enables the specific, covalent attachment of virtually any molecule to a protein of interest. The SNAP-tag is based on mammalian O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (AGT). SNAP-tag substrates are derivatives of benzylpurines and benzylchloropyrimidines, In the labeling reaction, the substituted benzyl group of the substrate becomes covalently attached to the SNAP-tag.

There are two steps to using this system: subcloning and expression of the protein of interest as a SNAP-tag fusion, and labeling of the fusion with the SNAP-tag substrate of choice. Expression of SNAP-tag fusion proteins is described in the documentation supplied with SNAP-tag plasmids. The labeling of fusion proteins with the SNAP-Biotin substrate is described below.

NEB # Component Name Component # Stored at (°C) Amount Concentration
  SNAP-Biotin® S9110SVIAL -20 1 x 50 nmol

Properties & Usage

Materials Required but not Supplied

  • Cells expressing SNAP-tag proteins 
  • Tissue culture materials and media 
  • Transfection reagents 
  • DMSO


Notes
  • Storage: SNAP-Biotin should be stored at -20°C (long term) or at 4°C (short term, less than 4 weeks). With proper storage at -20°C the substrate should be stable for at least three years dry or 3 months dissolved in DMSO.

Tech Tips

  • After addition of DMSO, pipette up and down at least 10-20 times and vortex vigorously for at least one full minute to ensure full dissolution of the substrate.

  • After diluting the substrate in complete medium, thoroughly pipette up and down at least 10 times to help reduce background.

  • Increasing substrate concentration and/or reaction time usually results in higher background and does not necessarily increase the signal-to-background ratio (SNR).
