2 psychological effects of kinase linked receptors
- phosphorylase proteins involved in signalling cascades
- long term effect = stimulate growth / differentiation
Why is a helix most common 2* structure found in membrane spanning region?
A helix resides have hydrophobic side chains that interact with fatty acyl groups of membrane phospholipids
Drug target sites?
Receptors
Ion channel
Transporters
Enzymes
KING
Target sites further categorised?
Kinase linked receptors
Ion channels - ligand gated
Nuclear receptors / intracellular
GPCR
Endocrine signalling mol. Unit range?
10^-6M to 10^-12
Why is fluid mosaic model both fluid like and static?
Fluid = from hydrocarbon chains combined with cholesterol - theyβre free to move laterally cause they rnt. Covalently linked
Static= from large conglomerates that r bound to each other (eg. Connexions and lipid rafts)
Fluid mosaic = membrane can be both fluid and static
Membrane bilayer form ___ in water. Theyβre bonded by ____ bonds called ______ between _____ and____ bonds between
Spontaneously Non covalent Van dear walls Hydrophobic Hydrogen bonds Hydrophilic heads
Integral membrane and lipid anchored membrane r similar inβ¦
The fact they r held to membrane by hydrophobic interactions
Greater fluidity in membrane is achieved by
Unsaturated bonds
Difference between multi pass membrane proteins and a multi subunit membrane protein
Multi pass = single poly p. Chain that penetrates membrane twice
Multi subunit = more than 1 poly p. Where each is called a subunit
Band 3
Integral
Glycoprotein + hydrophilic
Prevents flip flop
Ankyrin
Peripheral
Adapter protein
Links spectrin to band 3
Restricts lateral mobility
Spectrin
Peripheral
Long rod like protein / forms heterotetremer
Contributes to shape and flexibility of erythrocytes
Glycophorin A
Integral
Glycoprotein, hydrophilic
Prevents flip flop rotation
Band 4.1
Peripheral
Protein
Links spectrin to glycophorin A ; restricts lateral mobility
