  1. Question 1

    Q1. A researcher studies the structure of a protein using X-ray crystallography. What is the primary goal of this technique?

    • A) To determine the molecular weight of the protein
    • B) To identify the tertiary structure of the protein
    • C) To determine the primary sequence of the protein
    • D) To study protein-ligand interactions

    Answer: To identify the tertiary structure of the protein

    Explanation: X-ray crystallography primarily determines the 3D structure of a protein. USAT, HAT and MDCAT analytical sections repeat this pattern.
