Abstract excerpt
Monomeric streptavidin with reversible biotin binding capability has many potential applications. Because a complete biotin binding site in each streptavidin subunit requires the contribution of tryptophan 120 from a neighboring subunit, monomerization of the natural tetrameric streptavidin can generate streptavidin with reduced biotin binding affinity. Three residues, valine 55, threonine 76, and valine 125,...
