Physical Characterization of Proteins

Question

What is the importance of the characterization of proteins based on solubility, melting point, and molecular weight? What are the applications of this?

Answer 1

If you have a protein based disease like Sickle Cell anemia, then knowing the protein size, its melting point, and molecular weight are vital to the initial diagnosis of the disease.  Net charge as well as folding defects are vital to identification of proteins as well.

Hope this helps you.
