Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) is a technique widely used to separate proteins according to their electrophoretic mobility. It is probably the world's most widely used biochemical method. The gel is actually formed because the acrylamide solution contains a small amount.

Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) SDS-PAGE A technique widely used to separate proteins according to their electrophoretic mobility
SDS gel electrophoresis of samples having
identical charge per unit mass due to binding of SDS results in fractionation by size and is probably the world's most widely used biochemical method SODIUM DODECYL SULFATE C12 H25 NaO4S MW: 288.38 most common dissociating agent used to denature native proteins to individual polypeptides
When a protein mixture is heated to 100 °C
in presence of SDS, the detergent wraps around the polypeptide backbone. It binds to polypeptides in a constant weight ratio of 1.4 g/g of polypeptide TISSUE PREPARATION TISSUE PREPARATION Samples may be taken from whole tissue or cell culture Combination of biochemical and mechanical techniques can be used to separate different cell compartments and organelles The solution of proteins to be analyzed is mixed with SDS, an anionic detergent which denatures secondary and non–disulfide–linked tertiary structures, and applies a negative charge to each protein in proportion to its mass TISSUE PREPARATION A tracking dye may be added to the protein solution (of a size smaller than protein) to allow the experimenter to track the progress of the protein solution through the gel during the electrophoretic run PREPARING ACRYLAMIDE GELS ELECTROPHORESIS STAINING the gel may be stained allowing visualization of the separated proteins, or processed further different proteins will appear as distinct bands within the gel. It is common to run molecular markersof known molecular weight in a separate lane in the gel, in order to calibrate the gel and determine the weight of unknown proteins by comparing the distance traveled relative to the marker STAINING The gel is actually formed because the acrylamide solution contains a small amount. Gel electrophoresis is usually the first choice as an assay of protein purity due to its reliability and ease. The presence of SDS and the denaturing step causes proteins to be separated solely based on size. False negatives and positives are possible. A comigrating contaminant can appear as the same band as the desired protein.
