Signature Fragment Ions of Biotinylated Peptides.

ABSTRACT: The use of biotin or biotin-containing reagents is an essential component of many protein purification and labeling technologies. Owing to its small size and high affinity to the avidin family of proteins, biotin is a versatile molecular handle that permits both enrichment and purity that is not easily achieved by other reagents. Traditionally, the use of biotinylation to enrich for proteins has not required the detection of the site of biotinylation. However, newer technologies for discovery of protein-protein interactions, such as APEX and BioID, as well as some of the click chemistry-based labeling approaches have underscored the importance of determining the exact residue that is modified by biotin. Anti-biotin antibody-based enrichment of biotinylated peptides (e.g., BioSITe) coupled
