Chapter 3, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the precipitation of proteins at high salt concentrations and some of them require salt to dissolve in water should be determined.

Concept introduction:

A peptide bond exists between the two amino acids. During the formation of a peptide bond, a molecule of water is released. The carboxyl group of one amino acid gets linked with the amino group of the other amino acid. Polypeptides and proteins are the chains formed by the amino acids.
