What is inner membrane protein and outer membrane protein How can you get membrane protein from E. coli and how to separate the inner and outer membrane protein?

Inner membrane proteins are embedded in the inner membrane of bacteria, while outer membrane proteins are located in the outer membrane. To obtain membrane proteins from E. coli, you can disrupt the cells through methods like sonication or French press, followed by using differential centrifugation to separate the inner and outer membrane fractions based on their densities. Further purification techniques such as density gradient ultracentrifugation or membrane solubilization can be used to isolate inner and outer membrane proteins specifically.

What are the parts of a mitochondrion?

A mitochondrion consists of an outer membrane, an inner membrane, cristae (folds in the inner membrane), a matrix (fluid-filled space inside the inner membrane), and ribosomes and DNA for protein synthesis within the matrix.


What are folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria called?

I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.


Where does the electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria?

The electron transport chain takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane of the mitochondria. It consists of a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons and generate a proton gradient across the inner membrane, which is used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

yes they have a inner and outer membrane


Why is inner mitochondrial membrane folded?

The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area

Where are the the carriers of the electron transport chain located?

I don't think so. I think they are located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, but I could be wrong.
