Introduction to TEMED and Its Catalytic Role in Biochemical Experiments N,N,N’,N’-Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) is a widely used reagent in biochemical research, particularly in the preparation of polyacrylamide gels for electrophoresis. TEMED serves as a catalyst that accelerates the polymerization of acrylamide and bis-acrylamide, which are the primary components of these gels. The catalytic role of TEMED...
