Which of the following measurements can provide the most information about the overall shape of a protein?
A) Isoelectric point.
B) pH of maximum buffering.
C) Intrinsic viscosity.
D) amino acid composition.
E) Ultraviolet absorption.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrinsic viscosity measures the resistance of a protein molecule to flow and can provide information about the size and shape of the molecule, as well as its interactions with other molecules. This can give insight into the overall shape of the protein. The other measurements listed provide information about specific properties of the protein but do not give as much information about the overall shape.
