Hi I hope you're doing fine.

I need help with these questions please!

 

thank you!

**The purpose of SDS in an SDS-PAGE gel is to:**

- ○ denature the proteins
- ○ attach the proteins to the gel matrix
- ○ give the proteins a uniform initial molecular weight
- ○ counteract the denaturing effects of acrylamide

**Explanation:**  

This text outlines multiple-choice options addressing the role of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) in SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis. SDS is primarily used to denature proteins, providing them with a uniform negative charge and linear shape, which allows them to be separated by size during gel electrophoresis.
