KROK 1 2021 – Question 45 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Before prescribing a protein parenteral nutrition to an emaciated patient, the doctor has referred the patient for serum protein electrophoresis. This technique is based on the following physicochemical properties of proteins:
- A. Inability to denature
- B. Viscosity
- C. Hydrophilicity and an ability to swell
- D. Optical activity
- E. Presence of a charge
Hint
Think about what makes protein molecules move at different speeds in an electric field in a buffer and so separate into fractions.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
