Homework Answers
Integral membrane proteins are those which are embedded at only one side of the membrane. Either they are facing towards the extracellular surface or they are facing towards the phospholipids of the membrane. They do not spend the lipid bilayer completely.
They are amphipathic in nature. It means they have dual properties. Hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic. Because of their hydrophobic nature, they can interact with hydrophobic phospholipids and because of their hydrophilic nature they can interact with the aqueous extracellular surface of the cell.
This amphipathic nature of integral membrane protein is attributed to the present of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid in them. The hydrophobic surface which interacts with phospholipids is rich in hydrophobic amino acids like phenylalanine, tyrosine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, alanine and tryptophan. Whereas the hydrophilic surface which interacts with the extracellular face of the cell is rich in hydrophilic amino acids like aspartic acid glutamic acid, lysine, arginine, histidine, serine. Amino acids like glycine, cysteine, proline are present towards both the surfaces of the proteins.

4. In contrast to the alpha amino acids which are ubiquitous in nature, beta amino acids (with an extra carbon in the backbone) are quite rare. They form secondary structures that have very different conformations from traditional proteins. For instance, the compound shown below is the simplest beta amino acid; unusually, it is most stable in a gauche conformation. Draw it and explain why, co, Corn lonic c Hdi athrachan H₂N HT 5.
