Document Summary

Right chain, there is a double bond c=c, meaning unsaturated fatty acid; one double bond = unsaturated, more than one double bond = polyunsaturated. Simulation: phospholipid bilayer self-assembly: membrane self assembles with no input of energy in an aqueous environment this is the likely way to explain how the first cells formed, these lipids completely exclude water from the interior, approx. 20 nanoseconds of simulation time: lipids come together because favored structure hydrophobic fatty acid chains minimize water contact by aligning in the core, polar heads interact with the water. Membrane proteins: phospholipids make up backbone of a membrane, proteins perform membrane functions, two categories integral: embedded in the membrane or peripheral: on the surface of the membrane. Integral proteins: embedded in phospholipid bilayer, non-polar amino acids interact with the hydrophobic core of the membrane, transmembrane proteins traverse entire lipid bilayer.
