Please answer all of the following questions with the best answer.
1.) In Hydrophobic interaction Chromatography, why would we use TE buffer to push out the GFP (green fluorescent protein)?
a.)TE has a low salt concentration, allowing the GFP to refold
b.) the EDTA component of TE inhibits many proteases
c.) the Tris component of TE inactivates the HIC beads

a.) the eluent being applied to the column
b.) the stationary phase
c.) the temperature
d.) the radius of the column
3.) What is the predicted result of increasing amounts of lignin is added to a cellulobiase reaction?
a.) cellulobiase becomes denatured
b.) more product is made
c.) less product is made
d.) Vmax of cellulobiase is decreased
4.) Polypeptides with a hydrophobic core can best be denatured by which of the following treatments?
a.) adding 2M of NaCl to the solution
