Re: Any SOLID arguments against evolution?

... though. This is just one illustration. Also you have to remember in the early atmosphere-lots of heat from volcanism,lots of lightning.Also solubility would limit the number of combinations, many of the combinations would be soluble in water so they would not bond. Lots of heat because there ...

MES Buffer

... pH. You need to decide what concentration you want to have for the buffer (25 mM or 500 mM—whatever you need so long as you’re not above the solubility level for MES; caveat: the fee acid of MES isn’t all that soluble. It is not uncommon to start with a slurry of MES which dissolves as you ...
