  • Patent number: 6551794
    Abstract: Stable compositions containing biotinylated molecules, such as enzymes, are provided. The compositions include a biotinylated biomolecule, a biomolecule protectant, a buffer, a bulking agent selected from one or more water soluble, nonionic polymers and preferably a terminal sterilization protectant. The compositions can be utilized either as aqueous solutions or preferably in dried form, e.g., as a lyophilized, powder cake. They have applicability in any case where avidin/biotin technology is used and are particularly important as compositions containing a thrombin-like enzyme, e.g., for preparation of a fibrin monomer and fibrin monomer-based fibrin sealants.
