The addition of a 0.10 M solution of Mg(NO₃)₂ would most likely affect which type of interaction in the tertiary structure of a protein?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The addition of a 0.10 M solution of Mg(NO3)2 (magnesium nitrate) introduces Mg2+ ions into the solution, which can affect ion-ion attractions in the tertiary structure of a protein. These attractions are between charged side chains of amino acids, and the presence of Mg2+ can influence these interactions by either shielding charges or forming new ionic interactions.
