Which of the following is the most important interaction in the formation of cell membrane lipid bilayer and in lipid-protein interaction?
High-Yield Explanation
Interactions in the cell membrane.
- Hydrophobic (most important)–
Between lipids- Information of lipid bilayer
Transmembrane proteins and lipids
- Van der walls interaction
Between lipids- Information of lipid bilayer
Transmembrane proteins and lipids
- Electrostatic bonds
Between transmembrane and peripheral proteins
- Hydrogen bonds
Between transmembrane and peripheral proteins
- Covalent bond (least important)
Peripheral protein with the hydrophilic end of phospholipid
