(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in examination.

My doubt stems from Protein Techniques topic in section Techniques in Cell Biology of Cell Biology

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

Explanation: Every protein has a different solubility and it is a relative balance between the protein-solvent and protein-protein interactions. The former causes the protein to remain in solution, and the latter causes it to aggregate.
