1) Objective To study whether mercaptoethanol or vitamin C could block the inhibition of erythrocyte SOD by cadmium.

2) The chemical agents, such as PHA, ConA, fucose, mercaptoethanol and trypsin decreased CSH and adhesion level of the yeast while lectin increased adhesion level.

3) Extraction of wool keratin by mercaptoethanol-reduction method (MERM) was investigated. The effect of concentration of mercaptoethanol (CM) on dissolution ratio of wool was examined.

4) When the proteins of pollens were treated with ultrapure water and mercaptoethanol, no specific band was observed among the self-incompatible lines and the compatible lines.

5) Ethyl 1,3 oxathiolane was synthesized by the reaction of 2 mercaptoethanol and propyl aldehyde in the presence ofp toluene sulfonic acid, with benzene as azeotropic dehydrating agent.
