2. Key Applications
Molecular Biology & Genetics
- DNA Alkylating Agent: Induces point mutations by ethylating guanine at the O6 position, leading to G/C→A/T base substitutions.
- Mutagenesis Studies: Widely used to create random mutations in model organisms (e.g., Arabidopsis, rice, wheat) for functional genomics research.
- Cancer Research: Serves as a reference carcinogen to study DNA repair mechanisms and chemical carcinogenesis.
3. Safety & Handling
Hazard Information
- Health Risks: Confirmed mutagen and suspected carcinogen (Category 1B). May cause skin/eye irritation and respiratory distress.
- Storage: Store in sealed containers at room temperature, away from moisture, alkalies, and oxidizing agents.
- Handling: Use PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat) and work in a fume hood. Avoid inhalation or direct contact.
