MOPS
MOPS (3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid) is a buffer introduced by Good et al. in the 1960s. It is a structural analog to MES.[1] Its chemical structure contains a morpholine ring. HEPES is a similar pH buffering compound that contains a piperazine ring. With a pKa of 7.20, MOPS is an excellent buffer for many biological systems at near-neutral pH.

Applications
MOPS is frequently used as a buffering agent in biology and biochemistry. It has been tested and recommended for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.[2] Usage above 20 mM in mammalian cell culture work is not recommended.[3] MOPS buffer solutions become discolored (yellow) over time, but reportedly slight discoloration does not significantly affect the buffering characteristics.[4]
gollark: Observe, "fractal art".
gollark: For instance, there is now `fractalart-rs`, now that I've fixed it, *and* `calibre-indexer`, from a while ago.

gollark: Although in the modern era both will just be memetically cryoapiocooled.
gollark: Also true.
