Application

Tris HCl is a commonly used biological buffer. Tris/Tris HCl as a buffering system has a very broad usage in biological systems for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, cell culture, diagnostics and molecular biology. The pKa of Tris is 7.77 which corresponds closely to a physiological pH of 7.36.

Tris HCl is used as the conjugate buffer component with Tris/Tromethamine/Trizma in biopharmaceutical buffer formulations (both upstream and downstream applications), electrophoresis separations and diagnostic reagent formulations.

Other Notes

The pH values of all buffers are temperature and concentration dependent. For Tris buffers, pH increases about 0.03 unit per °C decrease in temperature, and decreases 0.03-0.05 unit per ten-fold dilution. For precise applications, use a carefully calibrated pH meter with a glass/calomel combination electrode.

SQSTM1/p62 (sequestosome 1) is a critical macroautophagy/autophagy receptor that promotes the formation and degradation of ubiquitinated aggregates. SQSTM1 can be modified by ubiquitination, and this modification modulates its autophagic activity. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning its reversible deubiquitination have never
