2 Mercaptoethanol Thermo

On the use of mercaptoethanol as
, it is called 2-mercaptoethanol (produced by Thermo). Its properties are different and it can be used in various industries.

Looking at the science of biochemistry, this 2-mercaptoethanol can preserve the structure of proteins. Protein is the foundation of life, and its shape change is related to the difference of work. 2-mercaptoethanol, with its thiol-containing quality, can stabilize the structure of protein, prevent it from coalescing and folding, so that the protein does not lose its properties in the experiment, so the research of biochemistry progresses in sequence.

In addition to molecular technology, the extraction of nucleic acids also depends on it. Nucleic acid is hidden in the cell, and if you want to get it pure, you must prevent its damage. 2-mercaptoethanol is added to the extract, which can inhibit the activity of nuclease. This enzyme is easy to dissolve nucleic acid, and 2-mercaptoethanol is obtained. The nucleic acid is complete and can be the basis for sequencing and amplification in the future.

Furthermore, 2-mercaptoethanol also has its functions in cell culture. Cells raised in vitro need to survive in an appropriate environment. This agent can adjust the micro-environment outside the cell, slow down the damage of oxidation, and promote the growth of cells, so that cells can be nourished and grow, adding wings to cell research.

Overall, although 2-mercaptoethanol (Thermo) is a microagent, it is an important material in biochemistry, molecules, and cells. Its power cannot be underestimated, and it is also a help for all kinds of research.
