How can I identify pH region at which buffering can be observed?

In general, you can look at the pKa (or pKb) of the weak acid (base), and go 1 pH unit above and below that for relatively efficient buffering. Of course, buffer capacity of the particular buffer in use will be important also.

Why are buffering solutions used?
to maintain the pH
What keeps pH normal?
Buffering system.

pH balance
What are compounds that resist changes in pH?
A buffer resists pH change.
Which components of culture medium are important for pH and buffering?
Phosphate source
Which of the following processes is regulated primarily by the buffering action of proteins?
pH balance
What is the fastest compensatory mechanism for maintaining ph homeostasis in the human body is?
The chemical buffering system.
What is the function of tris hcl in PCR buffer?
IT act as a buffering agent to maintain the PH of a PCR
How do you calculate how much base to add to increase the pH of the solution?
This depends on what other acids or bases or buffering substances are in solution already, even if pH is neutral!
What are the characteristics of a buffer system?
Buffering system is the physiological system that function to keep pH within normal limits.
Do kidneys regulate ph of the blood?
Partially, yes. Most of the pH is regulated by respiration (how fast you breath) with the kidneys providing some fine tuning of the buffering ability of the blood.
What is the function of the phosphate buffer in DNA isolation?
pH control. In other words, buffering of lysing and extracting matrix to preserve DNA integrity, otherwise compromised in extreme pH.
