General description

Bis-tris methane, also known as BIS-TRIS or BTM, is a zwitterionic buffering agent widely employed in biochemical and biological research. It functions effectively in aqueous solutions within a pH range of 5.8 to 7.2 and demonstrates minimal shifts in its dissociation constant. Further, it can be used as a substitute for the highly toxic buffer cacodylate and is also recognized for its ability to form complexes with different metals.

Application

Bis-Tris has been used :
  • as a buffer for Electrophoresis
  • as a component of transfer buffer for Western Blotting

Features and Benefits

  • Suitable for Biological and Biochemical Research
  • Effective Buffering from pH 5.8-7.2 (25 °C) with a pKa of 6.5 (25 °C)

Enzymatic Activity of Glucose-6-Phosphatase [EC 3.1.3.9]

To measure glucose-6-phosphatase activity, the Taussky-Shorr method is used. This method is a spectrophotometric stop-rate determination assay that is measured at 660 nm.

The purpose of our study was to compare two acquired muscle atrophies and the use of myostatin inhibition for their treatment. Myostatin naturally inhibits skeletal muscle growth by binding to ActRIIB, a receptor on the cell surface of myofibers. Because

The best-understood mechanisms for achieving antibody self/non-self discrimination discard self-reactive antibodies before they can be tested for binding microbial antigens, potentially creating holes in the repertoire. Here we provide evidence for a complementary mechanism: retaining autoantibodies in the repertoire displayed
