Membranes are dynamic structures Phospholipid bilayers are liquid crystalline: they are two dimensional liquids allowing lipid to move laterally along the membrane surface, but nor from monolayer to monolayer (flip-flop) Figure 7.6 Flip-flopping across the membraneis rare ( once per month). Lateral movement occurs107 times per second.
