Document Summary

Intro to molecular biology3 march 6th, 2017. The fluid-mosaic model of biological membranes refer lecture 3 slide 2: fluid individual lipid molecules are able to move, mosaic di(cid:448)erse (cid:858)parti(cid:272)les(cid:859) pe(cid:374)etrate the lipid la(cid:455)ers. Integral membrane proteins span the lipid bilayer: lipid-anchored proteins attach to a lipid in the bilayer, peripheral membrane proteins associate with the surfaces of the lipid bilayer. Biological membranes are asymmetrical refer to slide 4: two leaflets have distinct lipid composition. In many plasma membranes, the outer leaflet contains glycolipids and glycoproteins (lipids and proteins with a carbohydrate attached) Structure of biological membranes: all membranes share common properties. Lipids biological membranes vesicles and tubules. It will not change: this situation does not apply to membranes, revise: transition temperature: membrane fluidity. Structure of biological membranes: capable of self-assembly refer slide 8 (demonstrated by liposomes fusing) Different areas of the plasma membrane perform different functions e. g. epithelial cell.

Which of the following is NOT true of phospholipid bilayers?

		Phospholipid bilayers separate the cell from the exterior environment as well as from compartments within the cell.
		The interior of phospholipid bilayers is a highly hydrophobic environment.
		Membrane budding requires transient breakages in the bilayer membrane.
		The chemical properties of phospholipids lead to the spontaneous formation of bilayers.

Which of the following is true regarding membrane proteins?

		All peripheral membrane proteins contact the lipid bilayer by covalent attachment to the hydrophilic head groups on membrane lipids.
		Beta strands can assemble into a membrane-spanning barrel structure.
		Lipid-anchored membrane proteins always face the cell exterior.
		A protein with six hydrophobic helices is most likely a lipid-anchored membrane protein.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

		The three types of lipid anchors responsible for tethering proteins to the bilayer are acylation, prenylation, and ubiquitinylation.
		Movement of lipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the membrane bilayer requires specialized transport proteins called flippases.
		Glycoproteins are the basis for blood type compatibility between donor and receiver.
		Glycoproteins are always oriented so that the carbohydrate moieties are exoplasmic.
