Cal Tech - SDS Page Gel Electrophoresis

Introductory paragraphs and figure are a useful orientation. Pay attention to the description of the role of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate).

Davidson College - SDS-PAGE (PolyAcrylamide Gel Electrophoresis)

Good, basic tutorial.

Rice University - Preparing Protein Samples for Electrophoresis

What is the purpose of the SDS? What is the purpose of the β-mercaptoethanol? What would be the result of running a gel without SDS (native gel)? What about without the mercaptoethanol (non-reducing)?
