Electroblotting of Proteins on - transfer buffer without Tris and Glycine (Sep/14/2004 )

I have to blot my protein on a PVDF membrane. I'm looking for a transfer buffer without Tris and Glycine. Both buffers contain amino groups and they could distrub signals in the Edman sequencing.
Does anybody have a recipe?
Thanks....
