Enzymatically cleavable traceless biotin tags for protein PEGylation and purification

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Feb 15;54(15):1913-1916. doi: 10.1039/c7cc05814d.

Abstract

Here we report an example of a protein-PEG conjugate with a biotin tag cleavable by lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis. Very mild cleavage conditions, heterogeneous, easily separable catalysts, and traceless design make this method attractive for the preparation and purification of PEGylated proteins.
