Answer:

To linearize the proteins

Step-by-step explanation:

Laemmli buffer, which contains SDS, was added to fish samples to linearize the proteins by breaking up secondary and tertiary protein structure, ensuring that proteins will only move by size. Also, coats proteins to be electrically charged so it will migrate down the gel
