MadSci Network: Science History |
There is huge list of chemicals (organic and inorganic). we are using about 10 chemicals to isolated DNA from organism with predefined protocol. How scientists selcted these chemicals perticularly for the isolation of DNA. because there are lot of chemicals having more or less same action or specificity. for example Tris is mostly used in different protocol.. How this complex stuctured chemical came in focus....what are the critierias scientists used to select that one and how did they do it.
