Biotin tagging is a technique used to label proteins or peptides with biotin, a small molecule that has a high affinity for streptavidin or avidin, allowing for easy detection and purification. This method is particularly useful for studying post-translational modifications (PTMs) as it enables the specific enrichment of modified proteins from complex mixtures, facilitating their characterization and analysis.
congrats on reading the definition of biotin tagging. now let's actually learn it.
