Tris buffer attenuates acetylcholine responses in Aplysia neurons

W A Wilson et al. Science. .

Abstract

The commonly used buffering agent tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine (tris) antagonizes the action of iontophoretically applied acetylcholine on neurons of Aplysia californica. Concentrations of 5 to 10 millimolar tris markedly reduced both excitatory and inhibitory responses.
