| General description: | Acrylamide acts as a quencher of tryptophan fluorescence. Acrylamide alkylates SH groups of cysteine and ε-NH2 lysine residues of proteins during electrophoresis. Bis-acrylamide is required for crosslinking and acrylamide is vital for the polymerization of monomers. Acrylamide along with bis-acrylamide crosslinks to form polyacrylamide gels, which is used to separate protein and other biomolecules. |
| General description: | Acrylamide (AA) is a neurotoxin and carcinogen. Potato products like, French fries, potato chips and also several cereal-based products contains acrylamide. This highly reactive organic compound has the ability to polymerize to form polyacrylamide. |
