DTT is a very strong redox agent. It can be used in enzyme stabilization. DTT has many uses in science including as an antioxidant. It is also used in the production of biofuel.
Because proteins and protein fragements are often smaller than nucleic acid molecules. You can separate proteins on a modficated agarose gel (Metaphor by Lonza) made for the separation of smaller polynucleotids. http://www.lonzabioscience.com/Content/Documents/Bioscience/MetaPhor18108-0604-7.pdf Further to the answer above. Acrylamide is used because it can be used in conditions which contain SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate) and DTT (a reducing agent). Both are necessary to resolve proteins by size. Proteins aren't uniformly charged, which will affect the way they migrate through a gel, but by coating them in SDS this gives them a uniform negative charge. DTT and SDS both help denature the protein and break up protein-protein and protein-DNA complexes thus allowing you to resolve the individual proteins.
SDS or sodiumdodecyl sulfate is a detergent used in protein separation. SDS buffer or SDS sample buffer consist of SDS, Tris, glycerol, bromo phenol blue, EDTA, and DTT or beta mercapto ethanol as a standard recipe. SDS is also added in stacking and separating gel preparation buffers that contain acrlamide.The main purpose is to keep the proteins denatured and provide the net negative charge to proteins as well as to run them according to it molecular weight
A reaction that can be described using a word
This is a sentence using the word monomer. :P
It is the gel of choice for SDS PAGE

stuff
1mM
because God made it that way
it kills eagles
DTT is the reducing agent for thiolated DNA
No. But you can get Air DTT Max ITF11P
Provides reducing conditions which prevent oxidation of the proteins cystidine residues
In 1962, Rachel Carson wrote about the dangers of the pesticide DDT in her book The Silent Spring.
