S-Nitrosylated Protein Detection Kit (Biotin Switch)

Cayman’s S-Nitrosylated Protein Detection Kit (Biotin Switch) employs a modification of the Jaffrey et al. 'Biotin-switch' method to allow for the direct visualization of S-NO proteins in whole cells or tissues, as well as by western blot analysis.^1,2 Using this method, free SH groups are first blocked (an addition of 125.1 amu per residue) and any S-NO bonds present in the sample are then cleaved. Biotinylation of the newly formed SH groups (an addition of 523.6 amu per residue) provides the basis for visualization using streptavidin-based colorimetric or fluorescence detection.

Needed but not supplied: Please download the kit booklet to verify if UltraPure Water (Milli-Q or equivalent) or any other components are needed for this assay.
