Question
Which salt is commonly used for protein precipitation via salting-out?
Explanation
Ammonium sulfate is the accurate answer because it correctly identifies the biological function or role described in this question. In Protein Solubility, understanding the specific functions of molecules, enzymes, or structures is fundamental. Ammonium sulfate fulfills this particular biological role through its specific structural properties, biochemical activity, or physiological mechanism. The other options (Sodium chloride, Potassium chloride, and Calcium chloride) serve different biological functions or are associated with other processes, pathways, or structural roles within the cell or organism.
