Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) P–1, Q–2, R–4

Explanation

IR vibrational bands identify functional groups, P–1. Far-UV circular dichroism reports protein secondary-structure content, Q–2. NMR constraints can determine biomolecular three-dimensional structures, R–4. The matching is C.
