Question

Predict What amino acid properties that are on the inner surface of the pore and amino acid properties that are on that face the phospholipid?

Answer 1

Amino acid property which are present on the inner surface of the pore and the amino acid properties present on the face of the phospholipid is as follows:

• The amino acids present on the interior side of the protein are usually hydrophobic and these would not be participating in hydrogen bonding. Also, there may be non polar.
• The amino acids present on the exterior of the protein is usually hydrophilic. These would be usually polar and could also be the site of phosphorylation.
