Preparation of Buffers For Use in Enzyme Studies (By G. Gomori)

Preparation of Buffers for Use in Enzyme Studies
(by G. Gomori)
The buffers described in this section are suitable for use either in enzymatic or histochemical
studies. The accuracy of the tables is within 0.05 pH at 23 C. In most cases the pH values
will not be off by more than 0.02 pH even at 37 C and at molarities slightly different from
those given (usually 0.05 M).
The methods of preparation described are not necessarily identical with those of the original
authors. The titration curves of the majority of the buffers recommended have been
redetermined by the writer. The buffers are arranged in the order of ascending pH range.
