Answer #1

Ans:

In polymerization reactions the APS spontaneously decomposes to give free radicals and TEMED act as a free radical stabilizer and also as a catalyst to promote polymerization. Therefore, these two reagents. i.e., APS and TEMED) are initiating and controlling the polymerization reactions of acrylamide when making polyacrylamide gels.

Reference:

TEMED          = Tetramethylethylenediamine

SDS                 = Sodium dodecyl sulfate

APS                 = Ammonium persulfate
