White/clear cryst. powder
Uses
2-(Cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid (CHES) has been used in the preparation of dimethyl trisulfide- polysorbate 80 (DMTS-PS80) formulation.
Uses
CHES is zwitterionic buffer useful in pH range 8.6 to 10.0.CHES is widely utilized as a buffer which is used for investigations on pH-dependent processes in enzymology. It has been shown to have an unusually high affinity for the iodoacetate binding site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
Application
CHES belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cyclohexylamines. These are organic compounds containing a cyclohexylamine moiety, which consist of a cyclohexane ring attached to an amine group. It is often used as biological buffer. It can bind to hemagglutinin (HA) emulating with sialic acid (SA) and receptor binding site (RBS)-targeting broadly neutralizing antibodies.
Definition
ChEBI: N-cyclohexyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid is an alkanesulfonic acid that is cyclohexanamine in which one of the amino hydrogens is substituted by a 2-sulfoethyl group. It is used as a buffer (pH range of 8.6-10.0) for studying pH-dependent processes in enzymology. It has a role as a Good's buffer substance. It is an alkanesulfonic acid and a secondary aliphatic amine.
General Description
CHES (2-(N-cyclohexylamino)ethanesulphonic acid) is regarded as Good′s buffers for its self-buffering and biocompatible feature. It is used in protein stabilization and does not interact with metals.
