Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) is an organosulfur compound with the formula CH₃SO₃C₂H₅. It is the ethyl ester of methanesulfonic acid. A colorless liquid, it is classified as an alkylating agent. EMS is the most commonly used chemical mutagen in experimental genetics. Mutations induced by EMS exposure can then be studied in genetic screens or other assays.Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) is a chemical mutagen, specifically an alkylating agent, used in research, particularly in genetics, to induce mutations in DNA. It works by adding an ethyl group to DNA bases, primarily affecting guanine and leading to mutations like GC to AT transitions. EMS is also known to be carcinogenic and teratogenic.

Important Considerations:

Safety: EMS is a hazardous chemical and requires careful handling due to its mutagenic and teratogenic properties.
Degradation: Specific protocols are necessary to safely degrade EMS before disposal.
