MOPS, Free Acid is a buffering agent used by biologists and biochemists in cell culture. For example,it is used in such systems as E. coli, Cryptococcus neoformans, cultured human keratinocytes, and thermophilic methaogenic bacteria. In protein studies, MOPS, Free Acid has been used in an x-ray crystallographic study of the ADP-binding site of succinyl-CoA synthetase from E. coli, in the characterization of the Rieske-type ferredoxin BphF, and in an electron microscopy analysis of the engineered protein betabellin-15D. The pKa of MOPS, Free Acid (7.2) is closer to physiological pH than that of MES (6.1), thus it may be more suitable as a physiologically relevant buffer.
