Thermo Scientific Chemicals BICINE, 0.5M buffer soln., pH 8.5

Description

A zwitterionic amino acid buffer agent used for low temperature work. The use of bicine in a thin layer ion exchange chromatography method for protein resolution has been published. Bicine has been utilized in peptide and protein crystallization. A kinetic study of a quaternary transition-state analogue complex of creatine kinase used bicine in the reaction buffer. A multiphasic buffer system for SDS-PAGE of proteins and peptides that incorporates bicine has been described.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
