... their use in various (strept)avidin—biotin technological applications. Avidin binds the vitamin biotin with the highest affinity known for non-covalent interactions found in nature. The gene encoding avidin ( AVD ) has homologues in chicken, named avidin-related genes ( AVR s). In the present study we used...
