A protein has a sedimentation coefficient of 2.6S, when ultracentrifuged in a 0.1 M NaCl solution; the same protein has a sedimentation coefficient of 4.6S, when centrifuged in a 1.0 M NaCl solution. This change in the sedimentation rate at 1.0 M NaCl, most likely occurs because the protein. (one word = verb).
Several chemical pollutants from a paper mill are released into the nearby environment. Compound A is rich in calcium and magnesium. Compound B binds tightly to all free polypeptides and proteins in the soil. Compound C is structurally similar to abscisic acid. Beberapa bahan pencemar kimia dari kilang kertas dilepaskan ke persekitaran yang berdekatan. Sebatian A kaya dengan kalsium dan magnesium. Sebatian B mengikat dengan ketat pada semua polipeptida dan protein bebas di dalam tanah. Sebatian C mempunyai struktur yang serupa dengan asid absisik.
