Abstract

Dehydrocholic acid was identified as a selective streptavidin binder from a PNA-tagged library. Isothermal calorimetry titration measurements showed this interaction to be entropically driven. Peptides tagged with dehydrocholic acid can be captured on a streptavidin resin and released under thermal conditions.
