ʻO 3-Morpholino-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid sodium paʻakai, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo MES sodium paʻakai, he mea hoʻohui kemika i hoʻohana mau ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea pale i ka noiʻi biological a me biochemical.
ʻO MES kahi zwitterionic buffer e hana nei ma ke ʻano he pH regulator, mālama i ka pH paʻa i nā ʻōnaehana hoʻokolohua like ʻole.Hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o ka wai a loaʻa ka waiwai pKa ma kahi o 6.15, kūpono ia no ka pale ʻana i ka pae pH o 5.5 a 7.1.
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka paʻakai sodium MES i nā ʻenehana biology molecular e like me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o DNA a me RNA, nā hoʻāʻo enzyme, a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe protein.Hoʻohana ʻia ia i loko o ka media moʻomeheu cell e mālama i kahi kūlana pH paʻa no ka ulu ʻana o nā cell a me ka hoʻonui.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona kaulana o MES ʻo kona kūpaʻa ma lalo o nā kūlana physiological a me ke kū'ē ʻana i nā loli i ka mahana.He kūpono kēia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hoʻokolohua kahi e manaʻo ʻia ai ka loli ʻana o ka mahana.
Makemake pinepine ka poʻe noiʻi i ka paʻakai sodium MES ma ke ʻano he paʻakai ma muli o ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā hopena enzymatic a me ka mana buffer kiʻekiʻe i loko o kāna pae pH maikaʻi loa.
