colligative

Any solute will affect the 'colligative' properties of a solution.

Their antifreeze effect is due to their 'colligative' (water-binding) properties and is thus directly related to their concentration.

These studies distinguish the conformational and 'colligative' properties of the individual bases in DNA and their inherent capacity to promote specific folding pathways.

Although no measurements of osmotic coefficients of proteins in a muscle cell have been made to date to corroborate this assumption, a variety of other motional and 'colligative' properties of muscle solutes have been investigated.

These are the 'colligative' properties of a solution, and the property that road salt crews exploit is freezing-point depression.
