Generally Antigenic Molecules Usually Have a Molecular Weight Greater Than

Question

Generally antigenic molecules usually have a molecular weight greater than
A)10,000 Daltons.
B)100,000 Daltons.
C)glucose.
D)most polysaccharides.

Accepted Answer

Antigenic molecules are usually proteins or large molecules made up of multiple proteins or carbohydrates, with a molecular weight greater than 10,000 Daltons. Small molecules like glucose or simple polysaccharides are typically not antigenic. 100,000 Daltons is a very high molecular weight and would exclude many antigenic molecules, so A is the best choice.
