I-3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid hemisodium salt, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-MOPS-Na, iyibhafa ye-zwitterionic evamise ukusetshenziswa ocwaningweni lwe-biochemical and biological.Yakhiwa indandatho ye-morpholine, iketango le-propane, neqembu le-sulfonic acid.
I-MOPS-Na iyisilondolozi esisebenzayo sokugcina i-pH ezinzile ebangeni le-physiological (pH 6.5-7.9).Ivamise ukusetshenziswa emithonjeni yemidiya yamaseli, ukuhlanzwa kwamaprotheni kanye nokulingiswa, ukuhlolwa kwama-enzyme, kanye ne-DNA/RNA electrophoresis.
Enye yezinzuzo ze-MOPS-Na njengesilondolozi ukumuncwa kwayo okuphansi kwe-UV, okuyenza ifanelekele izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-spectrophotometric.Futhi ikhombisa ukuphazamiseka okuncane nezindlela ezijwayelekile zokuhlola.
I-MOPS-Na iyancibilika emanzini, futhi ukunyibilika kwayo kuncike ku-pH.Ngokuvamile kunikezwa njengempushana eqinile noma njengesixazululo, nefomu likasawoti le-hemisodium elisetshenziswa kakhulu.
