MES, TAE, and tris are examples of these commonly used in biology. In 1966 Dr. Norman Good compiled a list of twelve of these with desirable characteristics such as enzymatic and hydrolytic stability, low cell membrane permeability, and a pKa, or acid dissociation constant, between 6 and 8. In 1908, an equation governing the effect of carbonic acid as one of these was written by Lawrence Joseph Henderson. That equation was later rewritten in logarithmic form by Hasselbalch. Their primary function depends on the common i

In 1908, an equation governing the effect of carbonic acid as one of these was written by Lawrence Joseph Henderson. That equation was later rewritten in logarithmic form by Hasselbalch. Their primary function depends on the common ion effect because each contains a weak base and its conjugate acid, or vice versa. For 10 points, name this kind of solution which resists change in pH.
