BCM31 Flashcards
Overton
observed only lipophillic enter cell
langmuir
studied monolayers in eponymous troough
eponymous trough
requires pure water so doesnt interfere with membrane
Nmm^2 RBC lipid covers -> off trough
2Nmm^2 = bilayer
Gorter and grender
bilayer
miscelles
phospholipid shaken with water - suspensions of misclles
roles
compartmentalisation
transmission and detection of signals
regulate transport
black lipid membrane
aperture made with teflon painted with lipid
- sim thickness to lipid but differ electrically
davson and danielli
lipid sandwhich
protein bread
lipid filling
robertson
interpret electron micrographs
= 7nm thick
unit membrane
freeze fracture consistent
lateral diffusion of lipid
rapid
transverse diffusion of lipid
slow
mouse cell + human cell
proof
heterokaryon
- mixed after hour
proteins mix on surface
singer nicholson
fluid mosaic mode
sonicated at 20kh
membranes break into liposomes
drug transport
composition myelin nerve sheath
protein 18%
lipid 79%
carb 3%
composition erthrocyte
protein 49%
lipid 43%
carbohydrate 8%
chloroplast composition
protein 70%
lipid 30%
mitochondrion composition
protein 76%
lipid 24%
lipid rafts
may mean refinement neccesary
- more ordered than surroundings
- float freely in membrane
- 3/5 X more cholesterol
- enriched in sphingolipids 50% more
- long term stability
differences between blm and natural
thickness = nat 4-12 black 5-10
resistence nat 10^6-10^9 blm 10^7 -10^13
