How the biotin-streptavidin interaction was made even stronger: investigation via crystallography and a chimaeric tetramer

The interaction between SA (streptavidin) and biotin is one of the strongest non-covalent interactions in Nature. SA is a widely used tool and a paradigm for protein-ligand interactions. We previously developed a SA mutant, termed Tr (treptavidin), possessing a 10-fold lower off-rate for biotin, wit...
