Streptavidin is a homo-tetrameric protein secreted by Streptomyces avidinii. Streptavidin is used extensively in molecular biology for its extraordinarily high affinity for biotin. The binding of biotin to streptavidin is one of the strongest non-covalent interactions known in nature with a dissociation constant (Kd) of the biotin-streptavidin complex on the order ~10^-14 mol/L. The streptavidin/biotin complex is extremely stable over a wide range of temperature and pH. Because streptavidin lacks any carbohydrate modification and has a near-neutral pI, it has the advantage of much lower nonspecific binding than avidin.
Recombinant Streptavidin is produced in E. coli as an N- and C-terminal shortened variant (core streptavidin, amino acids 13-139) and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
