  2. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    The bicarbonate buffer system is an acid-base homeostatic mechanism involving the balance of carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3), bicarbonate ion (HCO − 3 ), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in order to maintain pH in the blood and duodenum , among other tissues, to support proper metabolic function. [ 1 ]

  3. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

    For alkaline buffers, a strong base such as sodium hydroxide may be added. Alternatively, a buffer mixture can be made from a mixture of an acid and its conjugate base. For example, an acetate buffer can be made from a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate. Similarly, an alkaline buffer can be made from a mixture of the base and its ...

  4. Gel electrophoresis of proteins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_electrophoresis_of...

    A very widespread discontinuous buffer system is the tris-glycine or "Laemmli" system that stacks at a pH of 6.8 and resolves at a pH of ~8.3-9.0. A drawback of this system is that these pH values may promote disulfide bond formation between cysteine residues in the proteins because the pKa of cysteine ranges from 8-9 and because reducing agent ...

    The oceans buffer system is known as the carbonate buffer system. [12] The carbonate buffer system is a series of reactions that uses carbonate as a buffer to convert into bicarbonate. [12] The carbonate buffer reaction helps maintain a constant H+ concentration in the ocean because it consumes hydrogen ions, [13] and thereby maintains a ...

  6. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylamide_gel...

    The buffer should also be unreactive and not modify or react with most proteins. Different buffers may be used as cathode and anode buffers, respectively, depending on the application. Multiple pH values may be used within a single gel, for example in DISC electrophoresis. Common buffers in PAGE include Tris, Bis-Tris, or imidazole.

  7. Lysis buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysis_buffer

    RIPA buffer is a commonly used lysis buffer for immunoprecipitation and general protein extraction from cells and tissues. The buffer can be stored without vanadate at 4 °C for up to 1 year. [10] RIPA buffer releases proteins from cells as well as disrupts most weak interactions between proteins. [9] Recipe: [10] 1% (w/w) Nonidet P-40 (NP-40)

  8. Ringer's solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer's_solution

    Ringer's solution typically contains sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate, with the last used to buffer the pH. Other additions can include chemical fuel sources for cells, including ATP and dextrose , as well as antibiotics and antifungals.

  9. TE buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TE_buffer

    TE buffer is a commonly used buffer solution in molecular biology, especially in procedures involving DNA, cDNA or RNA. "TE" is derived from its components: Tris, a common pH buffer, and EDTA, a molecule that chelates cations like Mg 2+. The purpose of TE buffer is to solubilize DNA or RNA, while protecting it from degradation.
