Biotin-11-dCTP
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Biotin-11-dCTP is a biotinylated deoxynucleoside triphosphate and an important DNA labeling reagent. In random primer DNA labeling reactions, Biotin-11-dCTP incorporates into newly synthesized DNA strands to generate labeled DNA probes suitable for hybridization applications. In addition, Biotin-11-dCTP can serve as a substrate for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase to end-label oligonucleotides for telomere sequence detection, or to label the cut ends of linearized DNA molecules, thereby supporting streptavidin-based electron microscopy analysis. For example, Biotin-11-dCTP can label the cut ends of linearized DNA molecules under the action of dGTP and avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase.

Biological Activity
Biotin-11-dCTP (200-fold excess over oligomer 3' ends) enables effective end-labeling of (GGGTTA)7 and (TAACCC)7 oligomers, which then hybridize to telomeric sequences in human, Chinese hamster, and rat chromosomes[1].
Biotin-11-dCTP (0.02 mM; 45 min at 37°C) effectively labels linearized hemimethylated circular G-T heteroduplex DNA termini to enable mapping of mismatch repair excision tracts via electron microscopy[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
