membrane proteins and trasnporters Flashcards
peripheral membrane protein
associated with membrane through weak interactions with lipid head groups or integral membrane proteins
can be liberated by pH or chemical treatments
amphitropic proteins
naturually exist both in solution and associated with membranes
often regulated by phosphorylation or ligand binding
integral membrane proteins
firmly associated with the lipid bilayer
detergents are required to solubilize these proteins
includes proteins covalently linked to lipids
two ways to span the membrane
a-helices
b-barrels
why can beta sheets not be membrane proteins
hydrogen bonds would not all be satisfied on the sides in the bilayer
very positiive hydropathy index
very hydrophobic
more hydrophobic residues
easier to bring things through a membrane
less hydrophobic residues
prolly a signaling membrane
how to determine which loops are inside/outside the membrane
use proteases that cleave only on sites located outside of the membrane
charged residues are almost always on the _____ the lipid bilayer
outside
postitive-inside rule
lys, his, arg generally concentrate on cytoplasmic side (cell interior has net - charge)
tyr and trp often at the ________ interacting with ________
surface, head groups
long chains like ____ can _____ to the ______
lys, snorkel, surface
glycosoly phosphatidylinositol linked proteins are usually
on the outside of cells
proteins linked to single acyl-chains are usually
inside cells
simple diffusion what can move thru
nonpolar and small polar molecules
can proton do simle diffusion
no
simple diffusion examples
o2 co2
c2
where its going
c1
where its coming from
facilitated diffusion what can go thru
nonpolar and small polar molecules
facilitated diffusion is specific to
shape
why do k4 and k-4 not matter in transporter kinetics
uncatalyzed simple diffusion is slow
why do k-2 and k3 not matter in transporter kinetics
glucose inside the cell is continually being metabolized so Sin does not build up
