(Z)-Non-2-enyl 6-bromohexanoate

(Z)-Non-2-enyl 6-bromohexanoate is an analogue of Biotin and a protein cross-linking agent.(Z)-Non-2-enyl 6-bromohexanoate binds less tightly to biotin-binding proteins such as Avidin and is easily displaced by Biotin. It is used in the preparation of agarose matrices for affinity-based isolation of streptavidin-fluorophore conjugates.
