Methyl methanesulfonate

SKU: orb1297752

Description

Methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) is a DNA alkylating agent that primarily methylates adenine and guanine bases, leading to 3-methyladenine and 7-methylguanine lesions. These modifications cause base mispairing and replication blocks, making MMS a valuable tool for studying DNA damage response, repair mechanisms, and genotoxicity in both cellular and animal models.
