- | = | + | '''Avidin''' is a protein that’s bind Vitamin B7, <scene name='60/607867/Biotin/2'>Biotin</scene>. |

+ | The secondary structure of each Avidin monomer combines <scene name='60/607867/A-helix/1'>alpha-helix</scene> (pink) and an 8 stranded antiparalle <scene name='60/607867/Beta-helix/1'>beta-sheets</scene> (turquoise). The tertiary structure of each monomer is beta-barrel <ref>PMID: 8506353</ref>. | ||
