• A) Understanding structure can help in the design of drugs that alter the function of certain proteins.
• B) Understanding structure should help us understand function.
• C) Solving a protein's 3- D structure can lead to a better understanding of how the molecule works-for example, by identifying the active site and determining if there are regulatory sites.
• D) All of the above apply.
