Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When adding additional salt to a protein solution, it can result in an increase in solubility, known as 'salting in', for some proteins. However, for many other proteins, it can cause a decrease in solubility, called 'salting out', leading to protein precipitation from the solution. Therefore, the correct answer is D, all of the above.
