Lipid composition of the plasma membrane and organelle membranes of a rat hepatocyte
Glycerophospholipids OH H The backbone of phospholipids
Sterols have four fused carbon rings Cholesterol
Asymmetric distribution of phospholipids between the inner and outer monolayers of the erythrocyte plasma membrane
Peripheral and Integral Proteins The specificities of phospholipases GPI: glycosyl phosphatidylinositol
Lipid-linked membrane proteins
Transbilayer disposition of glycophorin in an erythrocyte Glycoproteins have covalently attached oligosaccharides
Integral membrane proteins Bacteriorhodopsin, a membrane-spanning protein Halobacterium salinarum categories
3-D structure of the photosynthetic reaction center of Rhodopseudomonas viridis
Protein Architecture - Secondary Structure A few types of secondary structures are particularly stable and occur widely in proteins. Most prominent: a helix and b conformations. Note: The a helix is not hollow Space-filling model Ball-and-stick model The a helix as viewed from one end, looking down the longitudinal axis Formation of a right-handed a helix Ball-and-stick model of a right-handed a helix, showing the intrachain H bonds The atoms in the center of the a helix are in very close contact
Hydropathy Plots
Energy changes accompanying passage of a hydrophilic solute through the lipid bilayer of a biological membrane Facilitated diffusion or passive transport
