1. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein that forms the antibiotic fragment lactoferricin during digestion. The protein was isolated from 1.5 liters of ewe skim milk by successive ammonium sulfate precipitation until a final salt concentration of 70% was obtained. Determine the amount (in g) of powdered ammonium sulfate needed in bringing the solution from (a) 0% to 40% saturation and (b) 40% to 70% saturation assuming that the volume remains constant.
