Part A - Properties of membrane proteins What characteristic distinguishes membrane proteins from globular proteins? View Available Hint(s) O often contain a high proportion of hydrophobic loops projecting on both sides of the membrane O often contain a high proportion of hydrophobic amino acids in the parts that are embedded in the membrane Membrane proteins often fold into hydrophilic B-barrels that are able to traverse the membrane bilayer. have high solubility in water and thus are easily isolated O do not have a defined fold because they interact with hydrophobic lipids in the membrane.Explanation / Answer
Membrane proteins have following characteristics:
