By adding increasing amounts of salt to a solution containing proteins,
I. the salt causes waters of hydration to form around individual protein
Molecules
II. salting in occurs, and protein solubility increases
III. proteins aggregate at very high salt concentrations
IV. at very high salt concentrations, salting out occurs, and protein solubility
Increases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding salt to a solution initially increases protein solubility (salting in), but at high concentrations, it leads to protein aggregation and decreased solubility (salting out), not an increase as stated in IV.
