| Method |
Primary source [94] abstract: "Using data from both high-throughput experiments and in vitro laboratory experiments, [investigators] tested this concept [that a large portion of and possibly most of the cell's intrinsic (i.e., passive non-bicarbonate) buffering effect was attributed to proteins]. [They] assessed the buffering capacity of the yeast proteome using protein abundance data and compared it to [their] own titration of yeast cytoplasm." |
| Comments |
P.6665 left column 2nd paragraph: "As a rule of thumb, the pH of the cytoplasm is 7.2 (ref 91), and it is critical to maintain this value for any given organism (ref 92). Phosphate or bicarbonate ions and other weak acids and bases within the cell provide the intracellular buffering capacity, to which the side-chains and free amino- and carboxy-termini of amino acids and proteins contribute less than 1% (primary sources)." |
