Salting out is a method where high concentrations of a salt, such as ammonium sulfate, are added to a solution to reduce the solubility of proteins or other molecules. This causes the proteins to aggregate and precipitate out of the solution, allowing for their separation. The salt ions compete with the protein for water molecules, leading to decreased solubility and precipitation.
