Organization of Protein and Lipid Components in Membranes

  • Chapter
The Molecular Biology of Membranes

Abstract

The essential structural characteristics of biological membranes are by now well known. Membranes consist largely of amphipathic molecules (lipids and proteins) which spontaneously aggregate in such a way as to expose their polar parts to water while at the same time creating a nonaqueous interior for the nonpolar parts.
