Question

The protein salmon has an isoelectric point of 12.1. Suppose you did a pH titration of a solution containing salmon. At what pH will the protein aggregate

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 12.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of the same isoelectric point of protein and the pH value of the solution, it is the only condition when aggregation of proteins takes place.

When there is intrinsically disordered proteins or misfolded proteins aggregates known as the protein aggregate. So for the first aggregation takes place at pH= 12.1.
