DEPC-Treated Water Rev 12/20 FOR RESEARCH ONLY! DEPC-Treated Water Rev 12/20 ALTERNATE NAMES: RNase- and DNase-free water, RNase-free water, Molecular Biology Grade water, DEPC Water, Sterile water CATALOG #: M1500-100 100 ml M1500-1000 1 L APPEARANCE: Clear, Colorless liquid FEATURES: Ready-to-use Solution For RNA experiments RNase and DNase Free Molecular Biology Grade FORMULATION: 0.1 % v/v Diethyl Pyrocarbonate (DEPC) in water DESCRIPTION: DEPC is a non-specific inhibitor of Ribonucleases (RNases). To reduce degradation of RNA in experiments, water is treated with DEPC. The concentration of DEPC is 0.1%. Ultra-pure molecular biology grade water is treated with DEPC followed by auto-claving. Autoclaving inactivates DEPC by causing hydrolysis of DEPC and release of by-products ethanol and carbon-dioxide. DEPC modifies enzymes containing -NH, -SH, or -OH groups in their active sites. DEPC particularly reacts with Cys, His, Lys, Ser and Tyr residues of proteins. DEPC has a half-life of approximately 30 min in water. DEPC-Treated Water (0.1%) can be used with buffers such as PBS and MOPS but cannot be used with the buffers Tris and HEPES. Tris and HEPES make DEPC unavailable to inactivate RNase. DEPC-treated water should not be added to aqueous solutions of ammonia as it will result in the formation of urethane, a possible carcinogen. qPCR, Real-Time RT-PCR, cDNA synthesis and RNase protection assays APPLICATIONS: STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Room Temperature.

  • Tris(Hydroxymethyl)Aminomethane; Tris
    Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane; Tris Technical Bulletin No. 106B IMPORTANT NOTICE The "Tris" described in this bulletin is Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. It is not the "Tris" used to flame-proof fabric. The latter, Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate, has been reported to be a cancer suspect agent. Trizma® is Sigma's registered trademark applied to various compounds of tris(hydroxymethyl)- aminomethane (tris) prepared by Sigma. For example, Trizma HCl is the completely neutralized crystalline hydrochloride salt of tris. Trizma Base is the pure tris itself. Trizma and its salts have been useful as buffers in a wide variety of biological systems. Uses include pH control in vitro1,2 and in vivo,3,4 for body fluids and as an alkalizing agent in the treatment of acidosis of the blood.5 Trizma has been used as a starting material for polymers, oxazolones (with carboxylic acids) and oxazolidines (with aldehydes).6 Trizma does not precipitate calcium salts and is of value in maintaining solubility of manganese salts.7 PRIMARY BASIMETRIC STANDARD Trizma Base meets many of the requirements for a primary basimetric standard. It is pure, essentially stable, relatively non-hygroscopic and has a high equivalent weight. Trizma Base can be dried at 100°C for up to 4 hours.8 It can be used for the direct standardization of a strong acid solution; the equivalence point can be determined either potentiometrically or by use of a suitable indicator: [3-(4-Dimethylamino-1-naphthylazo)-4- methoxybenzenesulfonic acid, Product No. D5407].

LODOLA and NICHOLAS P. ILLSLEY Department ofBiochemistry, University ofBristol, Bristol BS8 1TD, U.K. (Received 25 February 1974) 1. Supernatant pig heart malate dehydrogenase is completely inhibited by reaction with diethyl pyrocarbonate at pH6.5, when 0.58+0.1 residue of ethoxycarbonylhistidine is formed per NADH-binding site. 2. Oxaloacetate and hydroxymalonate protect the en- zyme from inhibition in the absence of coenzyme. 3. Limited ethoxycarbonylation does not alter the binding of NADH to the enzyme but prevents the enzyme-NADH complex from interacting with hydroxymalonate in a ternary complex.

    infoPoint Biological Buffers Application Many biochemical processes are markedly impaired by even small changes in the concentrations of free H+ ions. It is therefore usually necessary to stabilise the H+ concentration in vitro by adding a suitable buffer to the medium, without, however, affecting the functioning of the system under investigation.

  • Chapter 8: Monoprotic Acid-Base Equilibria
    Chapter 8: Monoprotic Acid-Base Equilibria Chapter 6: Strong acids (SA) and strong bases (SB) ionize completely in water (very large K) [H +] ions produced equals [S.A.] Example: What is the pH of 0.050 M HCl solution? HCl is S.A. so [HCl] = [H +]. Thus, pH = - log [H +] = - log (0.050); pH = 1.30 Similarly, [OH -] in solution will be equal to [S.B.] x number OH - per formula unit Challenge: What is the pH of 1.0 x 10 -8 M HCl? What is the pH of 1.0 x 10 -8 M NaOH? pH = 8 for a 10 -8 M acid??? pH = 6 for a 10 -8 M base??? We are adding an acid to water (at a pH of 7) and then saying that the solution becomes more basic? We neglected the dissociation of water! Summary: pH calculations of strong acids and strong bases 1. At relatively high [S.A] or [S.B.], i.e. ≥ 10 -6 M, pH is calculated from [S.A.] or [S.B.] 2. In very dilute [S.A] or [S.B.], i.e. ≤ 10 -8 M, dissociation of water is more important, so the pH is 7. 1 Question: How do we know if a given acid is strong or weak? Know the 6 S.A. and six S.B. by heart Weak Acids and Weak Bases Weak acids (HA) and weak bases (B) do not dissociate completely . An equilibrium exists between reactants and products The equilibrium lies to the left (Ka for a weak acid is < 1) => mostly HA or B in solution The dissociation (ionization) of a weak acid , HA , in water: Ka - + HA (aq) + H 2O(l) A (aq) + H 3O (aq) Weak acid Conj.
