sds was found to be highly efficient in solubilizing and dissociating protein complexes. that and its ability to part a (roughly) equivalent charge density to the proteins makes it useful for separations based on size.

the long hydrophobic tail wraps around the hydrophobic parts of the protein.

for more, see these references (i don't have access):

shapiro et al, bbrc (1967)

sds page, encyclopedia of immunology

one dimensional sds page, encyclopedia of separation science
