Molecular features of steroid-binding antidins and their use for assaying serum progesterone.

Molecular features of steroid-binding antidins and their use for assaying serum progesterone.

Chicken avidin (Avd) and streptavidin from Streptomyces avidinii are extensively used in bionanotechnology due to their extremely tight binding to biotin (Kd ~ 10-15 M for chicken Avd). We previously reported engineered Avds known as antidins, which have micro- to nanomolar affinities for steroids,...
