Which of the following is not a common way to use alpha helices in membrane proteins?
Why are some proteins able to sit comfortably in the membrane (for instance, how does the amino acid sequence of a transmembrane alpha helix differ from that of an alpha helix exposed to water)?
why is an alpha helix the preferred structure for transmembrane protein segments? is a membrane bilayer is 40 angstroms thick, at least how many amino acids would have to be in an alpha helix to transverse this distance?
