Blood buffers: The viewpoint of a biochemist

Abstract Mammalian blood is a very complex system whose multiple physiological roles require that its pH is maintained constant, in spite of the necessity of carrying over 15 moles of CO2 a day from the tissues to the lungs. The blood pH is maintained constant by several buffers, whose interplay is...
