What Role Does the Biotin-Streptavidin System Play in Drug Delivery?
The biotin-streptavidin system is also used in targeted drug delivery. Biotinylated drugs or drug-loaded nanoparticles can be directed to specific cells or tissues by attaching to streptavidin-conjugated targeting molecules, such as antibodies or peptides. This targeted approach can enhance the efficacy of the drug while reducing side effects by ensuring that the drug is delivered precisely to the desired location.
