Streptavidin-biotin molecular complex

Streptavidin-biotin molecular complex. Molecular model of a single-strand binding complex of streptavidin (ribbons) and biotin (space-filled model, centre). Biotin is also known as vitamin B7. Streptavidin is a protein that is obtained from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii. It has a very high affinity for biotin, forming one of the strongest non-covalent bondings known. The complex of the two molecules is used extensively in molecular biology and bionanotechnology because of its resistance to organic solvents, other chemicals, and extremes of temperature and pH

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Streptavidin-biotin molecular complex, a vital component in molecular biology and bionanotechnology. The image depicts a detailed molecular model of the single-strand binding complex, with streptavidin represented by ribbons and biotin as a space-filled model at the center. Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, plays an essential role in various biochemical processes. Derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii, streptavidin possesses an extraordinary affinity for biotin, resulting in one of the strongest non-covalent bondings ever discovered. This unique characteristic makes this complex highly resistant to organic solvents, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and pH levels. The black background intensifies the structural beauty of this artwork while emphasizing its significance within biological research applications. The macromolecule's hydrogen bonding and strong bonds are highlighted through precise cutouts that enhance visual clarity. Scientists rely on this powerful combination extensively due to its exceptional properties when studying biomolecules or developing nanobiotechnological advancements. Its versatility allows researchers to explore new frontiers across multiple disciplines such as biochemistry and biotechnology. This Science Photo Library print provides viewers with a glimpse into the fascinating world of molecular complexes while showcasing their importance in advancing scientific knowledge. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, nature's intricacy is awe-inspiring.
