2 Mercaptoethanol Rna

2-Mercaptoethanol and RNA
Fu Jin wants to talk about 2-mercaptoethanol and RNA. 2-mercaptoethanol, in the field of biochemistry, often has unique uses. Its effect on RNA extraction and preservation should not be underestimated.

RNA, ribonucleic acid is also in the process of biological inheritance and protein synthesis, playing a key role. However, RNA is delicate by nature and is easily degraded by ribonuclease, which is widely present in the environment.

And 2-mercaptoethanol, with its special chemical properties, can inhibit the activity of ribonuclease. In the process of RNA extraction, adding 2-mercaptoethanol to the lysate can effectively break the cell structure and protect RNA from the damage of ribonuclease, so that it can be completely separated.

As for the preservation of RNA, adding an appropriate amount of 2-mercaptoethanol to the preservation solution can ensure the stability of RNA structure and function within a certain period of time, and will not be inactivated by enzymatic hydrolysis.

In summary, 2-mercaptoethanol is an indispensable agent for the research of RNA, laying a solid foundation for exploring the mystery of RNA.
