DIA-UP BirA enzyme (biotin ligase)
Catalog No.: H001P33
Source: Recombinant
Appearance: Clear colorless liquid
Buffer: Tris buffer, pH 8.0
Purity: ≥70% via SDS-PAGE
Filtration: 0.22 μm sterile filtered
Application: Biotin labeling of AVI-tagged proteins
Storage: Store long-term below -20°C; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Notes: Optimal BirA concentration varies with assay conditions; determine working concentration via pre-experiments.
Reaction System (100 μL total volume as example):

∠ Top up to 100 μL with deionized water, mix well, and incubate in a 30°C water bath for 30–40 min.
∠ Remove free biotin via ultrafiltration or dialysis; a dilution ratio above 1000-fold is recommended.
∠ The optimal final concentration of the protein to be biotinylated in the reaction system ranges from 40 μM to 80 μM:
If final concentration < 40 μM, extend incubation time to 8 h or longer;
If final concentration is above 40 μM, proportionally increase the dosage of BirA enzyme and biotin;
If final concentration > 80 μM, dilute the protein before reaction.
