Streptavidin is a homotetrameric protein found in the culture broth of Streptomyces avidinii. Similar to avidin, one mole of streptavidin can bind 4 moles of biotin with a high affinity virtually unmatched in nature. Streptavidin lacks the carbohydrate side chains present in avidin and has an isoelectric point close to neutrality. Therefore, it has a lowering non-specific binding level compared to avidin. Streptavidin has been widely applied in various biological fields, such as ELISA, IHC, TRFIA, PCR quantification, isolation of single-stranded nucleotides, purification of biomolecules, and production of monoclonal antibodies.

Compared to native streptavidin, RC-SA improves in stability and solubility by eliminating sequences unrelated to activity. In addition, a cysteine ​​residue is inserted at the C-terminus of RC-SA for covalent conjugation to the resin.
