Etymology

The term 'biotinyl' is derived from 'biotin', which itself comes from the Greek word 'biotos', meaning 'life' or 'sustenance'. Biotin was discovered in the early 20th century as a factor necessary for growth in yeast, and later it was found to be essential in other organisms as well. The ability to combine biotin with other molecules has facilitated its use in multiple scientific fields. The suffix '-yl' is commonly used in chemistry to denote a group derived from a particular chemical compound, indicating that biotinyl represents a modification of the biotin molecule. The exploration of biotinyl compounds has increased with advances in molecular biology, where the versatility in biotinylation techniques is pivotal for research into cellular processes.
