Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Membrane proteins are classified into transmembrane proteins, lipid-anchored proteins, and peripheral membrane proteins. Transmembrane proteins and lipid-anchored proteins are known as integral membrane proteins.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements about a typical plasma membrane is correct? The hydrophilic interior of the membrane is composed primarily of the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids. Carbohydrates on the membrane surface are important in determing the overall bilayer structure. Phospholipids are the primary component that determines which solute can cross the plasma membrane. The two sides of the plasma membrane have different lipid and protein composition. The plasma membrane is covalently linked network of phospholipids and proteins that controls the movement of solutes into and out of a cell.
Which of the following is most likely NOT a function of Peripheral Proteins?     support for membranes     enzymes     anchor for integral membrane proteins     receptors
Which of the following would be most likely to interfere with the proper insertion of a protein into the plasma membrane? Select the best answer.    Options:   The switch of a polar amino acid to a non-polar in a transmembrane region of the protein.   The switch of a non-polar amino acid to a polar in a transmembrane region of the protein.   The switch of a non-polar amino acid to a polar in a cytoplasmic region of the protein.   The switch of a polar amino acid to a non-polar in a cytoplasmic region of the protein.
