Ammonium persulfate is a potent oxidizer that promotes polymerization of acrylamide gels by scavenging dissolved oxygen in the polyacrylamide gel solution. This accelerates the acrylamide/bisacrylamide reaction. Ammonium persulfate is used to make polyacrylamide gels for protein electrophoresis and sequencing.
