2. The Supramolecular Architecture of Membranes

1) A Lipid Bilayer Is the Basic Structural Element

2) Membrane Lipids Are in Constant Motion

3) Integral Membrane Proteins Are Insoluble in Water

4) Some Integral Proteins Have Hydrophobic Transmembrane Anchors

5) Peripheral Proteins Associate Reversibly with the Membrane

6) Membrane Proteins Diffuse Laterally in the Bilayer

7) Membrane Fusion Is Central to Many Biological Processes
