Just on a side note, can someone clarify why Hasselbach is not Hasselbalch or vice versa ? Or is that the same guy just somewhere sometime misspelled and for ever in the records ? See here: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/261188/Henderson-Hasselbach-equation Jürgen On 7 Aug 2008,

Good points! Not only citrate is inappropriate for buffers in the pH 6.5-7.5 range, but also (as pointed out by your colleagues at UCSC, but probabbly elsewhere, polyprotic acids are hard to handle, as their pKa change in a significant fashion depending on their concentration. In this case, the H

There are 3 pKa's for citric acid: 3.15, 4.77, and 5.19 so it is going to be a lousy buffer at pH 6.7 to 7.25. Also, you need to know what concentration your buffer is, and whether that concentration is with respect to the citrate ion or what. It won't be tribasic with respect to ammoniu

Dear All Sorry for non crystallographic query. Can any body mail me how to prepare Ammonium citrate tribasic (citric acid triammonium salt) buffer pH 6.7 to 7.25 and also what is the pKa value. Thanking you in advance Rajakumara E. Rajakumara Postdoctoral Fellow Strcutural Biology Program
