Acrylamide, Grade II is a chemical used in electrophoresis applications to separate proteins and nucleic acids. During electrophoresis, acrylamide alkylates SH groups of cysteine and ε-NH2 lysine residues. It is vital for monomer polymerization. Acrylamide is a water-soluble monomer, which forms a transparent stable insoluble gel.
