Question
We treated egg albumin in a variety of ways (properties of proteins procedures). In general, what are we doing to the protein in each of these steps. ( looking for a one word answer)
Protein properties
1. Obtain four clean, dry test tubes and fill each one with 5 mL of 2% egg albumin solution.
2. Place test tube #1 in a boiling water bath for five minutes. Record the result.
3. Add 5 mL of 95% ethanol to test tube #2. Record the result.
4. Add 2 mL of dilute Lysol® solution to test tube #3. Record the results.
5. Shake test tube #4 violently to see the effect of mechanical agitation. Record this on the data
sheet as well.
