DIBMA 6 Biotin

The new DIBMA 6 is not only smaller than its predecessors (DIBMA 10 and DIBMA 12) but together with Sulfo-DIBMA belongs to a new generation of DIBMA’s which are RAFT polymerized. This achieves a reduction in both monomer size and lower polydispersity, meaning that if you need your copolymers to all have a similar size this is the copolymer to choose.

This first-of-its-kind, functionalized version of DIBMA 6 is tagged with biotin, enabling tag-free solubilization and stabilization of your target protein. There is no protein-labeling required, and the accesibility to the ecto- and cytoplasmatic domain is preserved.

This functionalized copolymer is particularly suited for downstream applications that require copolymer stabilization without affecting the protein. These include drug screening, high-throughput processes and assay development.
