In order for a protein to be an integral membrane protein it would have to be what?
In order to be an integral membrane protein, a protein must have hydrophobic regions that can interact with the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These proteins are embedded within the membrane rather than just associated with the membrane surface.
Are transmembrane proteins amphipathic?
yes, transmembrane proteins have both polar and non-polar regions. This is because these proteins are dispersed through the membrane almost like pieces of stones. So, to be inside the hydrophobic region of the phospholipid bi-layer AND also outside of it in the water or aqueous solution they transmembrane protein needs to be amphipathic.
What is the main function of the peripheral protein?
to suck a toe...
What types of patients require peripheral parenteral nutrition?
Patients who require moderate energy and protein for up to 2 weeks need peripheral parenteral nutrition.
Is glucose an amphipathic?
I don't think that glucose has both hydrophyllic and hydrophobic ends though it is soluble. Think phospholipid for an amphipathic molecule.
Why are proteins amphipathic?
Because the heads of the phospholipids are hydrophilic (water loving) and the tails of the phospholipids are hydrophobic (water hating). The tails are pointing towards each other and the heads are facing the membranes.
Is a steroid hydrophobic or hydrophilic or amphipathic?
Yes. However, more to the point is that steroid hormones are lipophilic.
In order for a protein to be an integral protein it would have to be what?
An integral protein must be firmly embedded within a cell membrane, spanning across it from one side to the other. This positioning allows integral proteins to have both an extracellular and intracellular domain, contributing to their crucial role in cell signaling and transport.
What protein acts like stiffner in microvilli?
Integral protein. They wedge themselves into the phospholipids that make up part of the plasma membrane. The other type of protein is peripheral protein but it sits on the outside of the membrane.
The peripheral protein lining pits involved in the binding phase of receptor-mediated endocytosis is called?
vessicles?
Is a protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a peripheral protein a trans membrane protein a phospholipid an enzyme or an entirely outside the phospholipid?
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein. Transmembrane proteins span the lipid bilayer, allowing them to create channels for ions to pass through the membrane. Peripheral proteins are typically found on the surface of the membrane and do not form channels.
Why isn't cooking amphipathic?
Cooking is not considered amphipathic because amphipathic refers to molecules that have both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) regions. Cooking involves the application of heat to food ingredients, which causes various chemical reactions and physical changes in the food, but it does not inherently change the molecular structure of the food to make it amphipathic.
