Document Summary

Phospholipids in plasma membrane can move within bilayer. Most lipids and some proteins drift laterally. It is possible to separate them, and look at the proteome of the external leaflet and the internal leaflet. The internal environment of the lipids bilayers is extremely hydrophobic, while surface is hydrophilic (interact with water) The phospholipid membrane is semipermeable, meaning certain things can get through it but not everything. Usually small and uncharged can passed through, while large and charged usually will not get through. The factors affecting fluidity are: length of fatty acyl tails, presence of double bond in the acyl tails, presence of cholesterol. The level of saturation and unsaturation dictates the structural rigidity of the membrane. Transmembrane protein: is a type of integral membrane protein that spans the entirety of the biological membrane to which it is permanently attached. Many transmembrane proteins function as gateways to permit the transport of specific substances across the biological membrane.
