When determining the presence of inorganic constituents such as sulfates, phosphates, and chlorides, you will be looking for the "formation of a precipitate." what is a precipitate?

Protein and polypeptide sequences can be determined by first partially hydrolyzing the protein or polypeptide followed by amino acid sequencing of the fragment pieces using the chemical degradation process known as edman degradation. determine the sequence of the initial (18-amino acid) polypeptide that produces the following five partial sequences after hydrolysis and edman degradation.
