Protein Stabilization and Substances Quiz

Acting as inhibitors to prevent protein denaturation

Acting as catalysts to speed up protein folding

Acting as preservatives to prevent protein degradation

Acting as bulking agents and stabilizers due to their interaction with water (correct)

Refrigeration slows down the degradation of hGH

Freezing can lead to the formation of crystals, which destabilize hGH

Refrigeration allows for better interaction between hGH and stabilizing substances

Freezing can lead to the formation of ice, which highly concentrates the remaining liquid (correct)

To enhance the reactivity of the substances with water molecules

To act as a rigid glass, trapping molecules including proteins and preventing their movement (correct)

To facilitate the crystallization of the substances for better stability

To increase the solubility of the substances in liquid protein formulations
