After the final step where you add $\mathrm{NaCl}$ and centrifuge, where is your phycoprotein (pellet or supernatant) $?$

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The phycoprotein will be in the pellet after adding $\mathrm{NaCl}$ and centrifuging. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Salt addition and centrifugation: Adding $\mathrm{NaCl}$ increases the ionic strength of the solution, causing proteins to precipitate out of the solution. Centrifugation then separates the precipitated proteins (pellet) from the dissolved substances (supernatant). ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Protein precipitation and separation ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ When $\mathrm{NaCl}$ is added to the solution containing phycoproteins, it causes the proteins to aggregate and precipitate. Upon centrifugation, these proteins form a pellet at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, while the soluble substances remain in the supernat◊Is phycoprotein more likely to be found in the pellet or supernatant after adding NaCl and centrifuging?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊⚹
