Clinical positron emission tomography imaging has demonstrated the vast majority of human cancers exhibit significantly increased glucose metabolism when compared with adjacent normal tissue, ...

This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...

N-2-Hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES) and N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-2-aminoethane sulfonic acid (TES) have been found to be non-toxic substitutes for bicarbonate buffer in ...

With antibiotic resistance on the rise, scientists are looking everywhere for better treatment approaches, even inside a box of baking soda—otherwise known as sodium bicarbonate. Bicarbonate ions, ...
