Document Summary

Structure, composition and properties of biological membranes: fatty acid properties and melting point, 4 properties of biomembranes. fluid, closed compartment, semi-permeable, asymmetric. Classes of membrane proteins. integral, lipid linked, peripheral. Insertion of membrane proteins types i, ii, iii, iv, tail anchored and gpi. Allow specialized functions to occur in a localized manner. Basic components: lipids, sterols, and proteins: biomembrane has lots of protein in it. Different from phospholipid bilayer formed in vitro. Long hydrocarbon chain attached to a polar carboxyl head group: polar head group can impart other functions to fatty acid. Often cx:y, where x = number of carbon molecules, y = number of double bonds. Unsaturated = one or more double bonds. More than one double bond = polyunsaturated. Melting point increases with increasing chain length: #c mp. Melting point decreases with increasing unsaturation: #double bonds mp. Fatty acids used as components of membrane lipids phospholipids, phosphoglycerides, sphingolipids etc (and sterols)

Which of the following is NOT true of phospholipid bilayers?

		Phospholipid bilayers separate the cell from the exterior environment as well as from compartments within the cell.
		The interior of phospholipid bilayers is a highly hydrophobic environment.
		Membrane budding requires transient breakages in the bilayer membrane.
		The chemical properties of phospholipids lead to the spontaneous formation of bilayers.

Which of the following is true regarding membrane proteins?

		All peripheral membrane proteins contact the lipid bilayer by covalent attachment to the hydrophilic head groups on membrane lipids.
		Beta strands can assemble into a membrane-spanning barrel structure.
		Lipid-anchored membrane proteins always face the cell exterior.
		A protein with six hydrophobic helices is most likely a lipid-anchored membrane protein.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

		The three types of lipid anchors responsible for tethering proteins to the bilayer are acylation, prenylation, and ubiquitinylation.
		Movement of lipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the membrane bilayer requires specialized transport proteins called flippases.
		Glycoproteins are the basis for blood type compatibility between donor and receiver.
		Glycoproteins are always oriented so that the carbohydrate moieties are exoplasmic.
