N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) activates carboxylic acid groups (on biotin) to facilitate coupling reactions. Biotin-X-NHS is a compound used to attach biotin to primary amines under alkaline conditions (pH~8-9). For example, lysines on the surface of proteins, including antibodies, are ideal targets for biotinylation with this compound. Biotin-X-NHS is like Biotin-NHS (Item No. 13315), but contains a six-atom spacer arm to minimize steric effects.
