Introduction to polymerization

Design: Why we chose the Avidin & Biotin affinity pair

  • Vergleich mit anderen Polymerisationsmöglichkeiten die wir diskutiert hatten
  • Tabelle mit Literaturwerten zu Assoziationsraten
Properties of membrane proteins
Affinity pair Kind of interaction Dissociation constant Association rate Comment
Avidin - Biotin non covalent 10-15M [1] 55 440
SpyCatcher - SpyTag covalent not applicable
StrepTactin - Strep-tag II
