It is widely used in peptide and protein research as a reconstitution solvent, particularly for lyophilised peptides that exhibit poor solubility in water alone. The mild acidity of a 1% acetic acid solution (pH ~3.4) aids in dissolving hydrophobic or aggregation-prone peptides without denaturing their structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMechanism of Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcetic acid (C₂H₄O₂, MW 60.05 g\/mol, CAS 64-19-7) is a simple carboxylic acid that protonates basic residues on peptide chains, increasing their net positive charge and improving aqueous solubility.
