Problem:
Question 1: Why do some lipids form lipid bilayers, whereas others form micelles? what major component in the cell membrane favors the formation of a lipid bilayer?explain.
Question 2: Draw a lipid bilayer. Label the extracellular side, intracellular side, and the direction of the nucleus. Demonstrate the following types of membrane proteins with respect to the lipid bilayer: Rhodopsin Receptor (serpentine receptor), Ras (farnesyl anchor protein), and PDGF Receptor (single pass membrane receptor). Which of these proteins are transmembrane proteins?
