Explain how the structure and properties of phospholipids help to maintain the structure of the cell membrane. Cell Membrane: All living cells have a cell membrane. It is the barrier between the inside and outside of a cell. Some cells also have a str...
Explain biomolecules structure, functions, properties, and subunits. How does a molecules size effect its ability to cross a membrane? How does the polarity of a molecule affect its ability to cross a cell membrane? How do you describe covalent bonding? Why are molecules with double bonds more...
However, this is a direct consequence of the chemical structure: lipids' tails from opposite leaflets are not chemically linked. At the same time, the water–membrane interface is organized similarly in phospholipids and branched bolalipid mimetics m8r0 and m6r2. An analysis of the bolalipids' ...
Here, using molecular simulations, we demonstrate that the structure of lipid II is determined to a large extent by the surrounding water-lipid milieu. In contrast to the bulk solvent, in the bilayer only two conformational states remain capable of nisin binding. In these states PPi manifests ...
Describe the structure and selective function of the phospholipid bilayer and the overall structure of a cell membrane; include specifics on the types of biomolecules you can find in/on the cell membrane and their function and structure. Describe the ...
Explain the role of the cell membrane as a highly selective barrier during \textbf{active and passive transport}?. Also discuss the structure of the membrane. Explain the similarities and differences between diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. Explain simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, ...
