## Abstract Chicken avidin is a key component used in a wide variety of biotechnological applications. Here we present a circularly permuted avidin (cpAvd4→3) that lacks the loop between β‐strands 3 and 4. Importantly, the deletion of the loop has a positive effect on the binding of 4′‐hydroxyazobe

Promiscuous ligand binding by hen egg‐white avidin has been demonstrated and studied by using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy complemented by molecular docking calculations. It has been shown that the biotin‐binding pocket of avidin is able to accommodate a wide variety of chemical compounds in
The binding of avidin (Avi) with biotin (Bio) and some Bio analogues (biotin methyl ester, desthiobiotin, 2ºiminobiotin and diaminobiotin) was studied by means of Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy. The di †erence in affinity between the protein and these ligands provides a detailed picture of the
## Abstract Histamine H~1~ antagonists or “antihistamines” are one of the most prescribed drug families in Western countries. They exert their effect by binding to the histamine H~1~ receptor, a receptor belonging to the class of rhodopsin‐like G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs). In this review, t
