Document Summary

Can be hydrophobic, polar, etc: we can start at amino end and look at if we come upon a region that is 20-22 amino acids in length of nonpolar amino acids. This region will be the transmembrane domain: you build a hydropathy plot. You can see where there are regions of high hydropathy index (the higher the hydropathy index the more hydrophobic a region is): the below graph has 7 hydropathy spikes, so 7 regions that interact with membrane. Right across a membrane: facilitated diffusion. Protein pore through which molecules move: diffusion is driven by entropy: bunch of molecules close together and diffusion causes them to become more spread out. Active transport---->pumping: energy dependent, movement from low to high concentration, atp-binding cassette (abc) transporter pumping from low to high concentration. Transmembrane domain that interacts with membrane and dictates what actually gets transported. These molecules have to interact with the protein itself.
