Description_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Ethyl methanesulfonate had been used for inducing mutation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, yeast human embryonic kidney cell lines and human lymphocytes._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1, 5, 10, 25, 100 g in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Ethyl methanesulfonate is a DNA ethylating agent, mutagenic to plants and animals and carcinogenic in mammals. It has been used as a model alkylating agent in studies of DNA repair processes. EMS induces base substitutions of guanine-cytosine (G/C) to adenine-thymine (A/T). EMS also generates point mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms in genomes. EMS is potential chemical mutagen used for inducing mutation in rice, wheat and Arabidopsis thaliana.
