3-Morpholino-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acide sodium ya sodium, izwi kandi ku izina rya MES sodium umunyu, ni imiti y’imiti ikunze gukoreshwa nkibikoresho byangiza mubushakashatsi bwibinyabuzima na biohimiki.
MES ni buffer ya zwitterionic ikora nkigenzura rya pH, igakomeza pH ihamye muri sisitemu zitandukanye zigerageza.Irashobora gushonga cyane mumazi kandi ifite pKa agaciro kangana na 6.15, bigatuma ikwirakwizwa muri pH iri hagati ya 5.5 kugeza 7.1.
Umunyu wa sodium ya MES ukoreshwa cyane mubuhanga bwibinyabuzima nka ADN na RNA kwigunga, imisemburo ya enzyme, no kweza poroteyine.Ikoreshwa kandi mubitangazamakuru byumuco utugari kugirango ibungabunge pH ihamye yo gukura no gukwirakwira.
Ikintu kigaragara muri MES ni ituze ryayo mubihe byimiterere yumubiri no kurwanya ihinduka ryubushyuhe.Ibi bituma bikoreshwa mugeragezwa aho hateganijwe ihindagurika ryubushyuhe.
Abashakashatsi bakunda guhitamo umunyu wa sodium ya MES nka buffer kubera kutivanga kwayo kwinshi na reaction enzymatique hamwe nubushobozi bwa buffer murwego rwiza rwa pH.
