Document Summary

: integral: this substance inhibits prostaglandin h2 synthase-1 by blocking the channel through which the substrate, arachidonate, travels. : acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin: cells maintain a ____________ concentration of intracellular potassium as compared to the extracellular concentration. high, the type of amino acid found in the transmembrane helix of an integral protein. : hydrophobic: the process by which lipids and proteins move in the membrane bilayer. : lateral diffusion: these membrane components contain carbohydrates. glycolipids, a complex between cholesterol and membrane phospholipids. : lipid raft: ________________ is the noncovalent force which favors close packing of the tails of the lipids in a membrane. Waals: _______________ are bilayer lipid vesicles with an aqueous compartment. : liposomes: the _______________ of small molecules is correlated with their relative solubilities in water and nonpolar solvents. permeability, membranes are said to be ____________ because their two faces always differ from each other.
