Biotin hydrazide is a biotinyl derivative used to label surface functional groups, antibodies, lectins, sugars, nucleic acids, or molecules with free carboxylic or keto groups. Biotin hydrazide is used as a probe for determining protein carbonylation, an irreversible posttranslational modification resulting from the actions of reactive oxygen species or lipid oxidation products. The reaction of this probe is direct and does not require catalysts or reducing agents.

aldehyde reactive biotinylation reagent

Biotin Hydrazide is a carbohydrate reactive biotinylation reagent used predominately for labeling monoclonal antibodies, unpaired cytosine residues in nucleic acids and glycoproteins.

Wash the hydrazide with H2O, dry it, wash it with MeOH then Et2O, and dry. Recrystallise it from hot H2O (clusters of prisms) [Hofmann et al. J Biol Chem 144 513 1942]. [Beilstein 27 III/IV 7980.]
