A streptavidin variant with slower biotin dissociation and increased mechanostability

Streptavidin binds biotin-conjugates with exceptional stability, but dissociation does occur and can be limiting in imaging, DNA amplification, and nanotechnology. We identified a mutant streptavidin, which we call traptavidin, showing ~10-fold slower biotin off-rate, increased mechanical strength,...
