Notes: Biotin-azide is a form of biotin with a terminal azide group. It is used to add biotin to other molecules that bear either an alkyne group, through click chemistry, or a phosphine group, using Staudinger ligation.{20657,18690} Biotin-azide has been commonly used to biotin-tag alkynylated lipids, particularly those associated with proteins through post-translational modification.{20657,27888,27891} It can also be used to biotin-tag proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids that have been modified with alkyne or phosphine groups.{27889,27887,27890,27886}
