2-Mercaptoethanol (also -mercaptoethanol, BME, 2BME, 2-ME or -met) is the chemical compound with the formula HOCH2CH2SH. ME or ME, as it is commonly abbreviated, is used to reduce disulfide bonds and can act as a biological antioxidant by scavenging hydroxyl radicals (amongst others). It is widely used because the hydroxyl group confers solubility in water and lowers the volatility.
