02190242-CF | CAS 60-24-2 | 2-Mercaptoethanol | MPBIO
Key Features and Details
2-Mercaptoethanol
| SKU | 02190242-CF |
| Alternate Names | β-Mercaptoethanol; 2-Hydroxyethylmercaptan; BME; Thioethylene glycol; 2-Hydroxy-1-ethanethiol; Monothioethyleneglycol |
| Application Notes | 2-Merceptoethanol is suitable for reducing protein disulfide bonds prior to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and is usually included in a sample buffer for SDS-PAGE. Cleaving intermolecular (between subunits) disulfide bonds allows the subunits of a protein to separate independently on SDS-PAGE. Cleaving intramolecular (within subunit) disulfide bonds allows the subunits to become completely denatured so that each peptide migrates according to its chain length with no influence due to secondary structure. |
