I heartily concur with Craig. Tris can be a dangerous buffer for many reasons, including those listed below. In addition, as a primary amine, it can complicate work with metalloproteins and has moderate nucleophilicity. There is almost always a better buffer choice than Tris. Best regards, Mark

There are almost always better choices than Tris buffer. Mo Cleland used to call it “Trash” buffer. He is no longer with us, but today I will happily carry that flag in his honor. Tris may show up in your crystal structure, especially at carbohydrate binding sites. Tris may be a surprisingly
