3. Reaction Buffer: MES Buffer 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid: Prepare 10X stock buffer at 500 mM, pH 6.1. The pH will not change significantly on dilution. Store at 4°C and discard if yellowed or contaminated. 4. EDAC 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride 52 µmol/mL: Just before use, weigh approximately 10 mg of EDAC on an analytical balance. For each 10.0 mg weighed, add 1.0 mL of deionized water. Note: EDAC is very sensitive to moisture and undergoes rapid hydrolysis in aqueous solutions. EDAC should be stored in a desiccator at -5°C and brought to room temperature...
