MOPS is the common name for the compound 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid a buffer introduced by Good et al. in the 1960's. It is a structural analog to MES. [Good, N.E. et al., Biochemistry, 5, 467-477 (1966).] Its chemical structure contains a morpholine ring. HEPES is a similar pH buffering compound which contains a piperazine ring. With a pKa of 7.20, MOPS is an excellent buffer for many biological systems at near-neutral pH.

Applications

MOPS is frequently used as a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. It is has been tested and recommended for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. [Thomas, J.M. and Hodes, M.E., Analytical Biochemistry, 118, 194-196 (1981).] Usage above 20mM in mammalian cell culture work is not recommended. [Eagle, H., Science, 174, 500-503 (1971).]
