Abstract excerpt
We have developed and implemented an in vitro compartmentalization (IVC) selection scheme for the identification of streptavidin (SA) variants with altered specificities for the biotin analog desthiobiotin. Wild-type SA and selected variants bind desthiobiotin with similar affinities (approximately 10(-13) M), but the variants have off rates almost 50 times slower and a half-life for dissociation of 24 hr at 25...
