Product Description
CHES (N-Cyclohexyltaurine) is a zwitterionic buffer. CHES can bind to hemagglutinin (HA), mimic sialic acid (SA) and receptor binding site (RBS), and broadly neutralize antibodies.
CHES (CAS: 103-47-9), also known as 2-(Cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid or N-cyclohexyltaurine, is a zwitterionic buffer belonging to the Good's buffer series. It has a molecular formula of C8H17NO3S and a molecular weight of 207.29. CHES is useful as a buffer in the pH range of 8.6 to 10.0 with a pKa of 9.5. It is widely utilized for investigations on pH-dependent processes in enzymology. CHES has been shown to have an unusually high affinity for the iodoacetate binding site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase. It can also bind to hemagglutinin (HA), mimic sialic acid (SA) and receptor binding site (RBS), and broadly neutralize antibodies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CHES does not have a specific biological target as a drug. It is a zwitterionic buffer used to maintain pH in biochemical and enzymatic assays. It has been shown to bind to the iodoacetate binding site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase with high affinity. It can also interact with hemagglutinin (HA) and mimic sialic acid binding. Good's buffers are characterized by high water solubility, low cell membrane permeability, consistent acid-base dissociation constants, low metal chelating capability, and high chemical stability.
ln Vitro
CHES does not have direct in vitro biological activity as a pharmacological agent. Its value is as a buffer for studying pH-dependent processes in enzymology and biochemistry. The compound maintains a stable pH environment for enzymatic reactions without interfering with the biochemical processes being studied. It has minimal absorption in the UV-visible spectral range, which is advantageous during spectrophotometric analysis.
ln Vivo
CHES does not have in vivo biological activity as a pharmacological agent. It is not intended for administration to animals or humans as a therapeutic. Its value is as a laboratory reagent for biochemical research. The compound is used in buffer solutions for various in vitro applications.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays using CHES as a buffer are performed to study pH-dependent enzymatic processes. The buffer is prepared at the desired pH within its effective range (8.6-10.0). Enzyme activity is measured under controlled pH conditions, and the effects of pH on enzyme kinetics, stability, and substrate binding are evaluated. CHES has been shown to have high affinity for the iodoacetate binding site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
Cell Assay
Cell culture experiments using CHES are limited as it is primarily used as a buffer in biochemical assays rather than in cell culture media. Good's buffers like CHES are designed for minimal interference with biochemical processes and have low cell membrane permeability. The compound may be used in cell-free assays or in preparing buffers for cell lysis and protein extraction. Researchers should consult primary literature for specific applications.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments are not applicable to CHES as it is a buffer reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is not intended for administration to animals. Its value is as a laboratory reagent for biochemical research. Researchers should not attempt in vivo administration of this compound.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties are not applicable to CHES as it is a buffer reagent rather than a therapeutic agent. The compound is not intended for administration to animals or humans. Its physicochemical properties include molecular weight 207.29, molecular formula C8H17NO3S, and pKa 9.5. It is highly water-soluble. These properties are relevant for buffer preparation rather than pharmacokinetics.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
CHES is considered a safe buffer for laboratory use with minimal toxicity at typical working concentrations. Good's buffers are designed for minimal interference with biochemical processes. However, as with all chemical reagents, appropriate safety precautions should be followed. The compound is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
