5-{7-N-[6-N-(biotinyl)-aminocaproyl]-amino-4-oxa-hept-1-ynyl}-2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate (Biotin-15-dCTP)
Molecular Formula (Acid):
C31H50N7O17P3S
5-{(7-N-(6-N-(biotinyl)aminocaproyl)-amino-4-oxa-hept-1-ynyl)-2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate (Biotin-15-dCTP) is widely used for non-radioactive DNA labeling. Biotin-15-dCTP is enzymatically incorporated into DNA by nick translation, random priming, 3' end labeling, or PCR. The number “15” refers to the number of carbon atoms in the chain between dCTP and biotin. The length “15” is optimal for most applications.
