What is the role of sodium dodecyl sulphate in DNA isolation?

Sodium dodecyl sulphate is a surfactant and functions as a detergent. It solubilizes the lipids present in the cell membrane and internal membrane and components of cell and allows a DNA extract free from lipids which would otherwise be contaminants in biological and biochemical assays.

What is the structure for sodium dodecyl sulphate?

CH3(CH2)11OSO3Na has a linearly structured carbon backbone with -O-S(=O)2(-ONa) at one end (which is ionised in water).Cf. 'Related links' for structural drawing

Is sodium dodecyl sulphate a nonionic detergent?

NO. Sodium dodecyl sulfate is a salt of sodium and the sulfated alcoholic group. When dissolved in water, it becomes ionized. It is commonly used in detergents and toothpaste and is known as an anionic detergent. Dodecyl alcohol after reaction with sulfuric acid and neutralization with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate forms the sodium salt. The sulfur is bonded to an oxygen so it is called a sulfate. If the sulfur were bonded to a carbon atom, the compound would be called a sulfonate. Dodecyl alcohol is not very water soluble but is quite soluble after sulfation and forms an especially effective agent to reduce surface tension and help release soils. Nonionic detergents are typically polyethoxylated materials that do not ionize to form anions or cations in water.
