It is hydrophobic interaction that causes aggregation of protein in dilute solution.

∙ 11y ago
Aggregations of proteins in dilute solution can occur due to several factors. Common causes include changes in pH, temperature, or salt concentration, which can disrupt the protein's native structure and promote aggregation. Additionally, protein concentration, incubation time, and the presence of destabilizing agents such as denaturants or oxidizing agents can also contribute to protein aggregation in dilute solutions.

Is a strong acid safe as long as its in a dilute solution?
No, dilute acids such as HCl, HNO3 etc can cause severe burns to the eyes, throat and skin. They are still dangerous and poisonous.
Do protein cause humans to get fat?
no
Is salt water dilute or concentrated?
The word 'dilute' is an inexact term. Hypotonic (less solute) and hypertonic (more solute) and isotonic (the same amount) are relative terms. What they mean is that a solution will either have less, more, or the same concentration of a given solute than the reference substance. It is important in cells because a hypertonic solution (such as salt water) will try to pull free water out of the cell, where the concentration of salt is less. A hypotonic solution will cause water to soak into the cells. Either situation may be undesirable. For osmosis, water will flow across a semipermeable membrane in the direction of the pressure gradient. It will always flow from the hypotonic solution into the hypertonic solution. Plants absorb water by creating a hypertonic state inside the root.
How can a protein lose its tertiary structure?
affected by temperature or pH cause the protein denature .
What different solutions can cells be in and what happenes to them?
There are three different types of solutions you can place a cell in: hypotonic (concentration of solution less than concentration of cell), isotonic (equal concentrations) and hypertonic (concentration of solution greater than concentration of cell). In a hypotonic solution, the cell will accumulate water (in an attempt to equalize the concentration difference) and will eventually rupture from the water pressure inside the cell. In an isotonic solution, the cell will do nothing. In a hypertonic solution, the cell will shrivel as the water exits the cell to dilute the solution to the same concentration as the cell. This will cause the cell to die.
What does a wash bottle containing a dilute solution of alkali does?
it can cause of PH

Can pH cause a protein to loss it shape?
It depends on what ph Levoe you are exposing it to. For example, if you you take a protein that is usually in an alkaline (basic) solution and put it in an acidic solution, yes it will lose its shape.
What is so important about the osmotic effect of a solution?
The osmotic effect of a solution is its ability to change the flow of water from itself to another solution that it can access. For instance, if you are injecting a high-osmotic solution directly into the blood stream, you can cause the patient to become dehydrated because the solution will pull the water from the patient's body tissues into the blood stream until it is equalized between the body tissues' osmotic force and the solution's osmotic force. In contrast, if you inject a solution that is too dilute, you can cause cells to rupture as the water from the dilute solution filters into the cells to try to equalize the osmotic forces between the cell's interiors and the solution.
If biuret reagent turns purple what substance is present?
food that has protein like milk will cause the Biuret solution to turn purple.
Can people ingest hydrogen peroxide diluted with water?
It will depend on how dilute it is. The normal solution available is 3%. It can cause blisters, cramps and diarrhea to those that ingest it. It is used as a mouth wash. Very small amounts is not going to be fatal and there are some that recommend dilute solutions for ingestion, but the results are very spotty.
Can herpes cause high protein in blood?
Herpes does not cause high protein in the blood.
What is the name of the disease caused by not eating enough protein?
A lack of protein does not cause an eating disorder. Instead, that can cause anemia.
Why shouldn't dilute acid be added to the most reactive metals?
Dilute acid should not be added to reactive metals because the result is dangerous. This violent reaction can easily cause damage to property or cause harm to people.
Is protein a mineral?
Is Mineral A Protein would be a real question cause MINERALS ARE A PROTEIN!
Why is vinegar considered to be a weak acid?
Acetic acid is a weak acid because, like all other weak acids, it only disassociates partially in water (also known as incomplete ionisation).
What happens if you consume too much or too little protein?
too much protein can cause strain on the kidneys too much protein can cause strain on the kidneys
