Extrinsic or peripheral proteins are held loosely in the membrane , their removal is easy. They can be Removed simply by changing the pH. Intrinsic proteins are deeply embedded in the membrane , hence for their isloation Detergents are necessary.
Most of the time, solvent extraction is performed with diethyl ether, for which the density, $rho$, $=$ $0.71*g*mL^-1$. Because, the diethyl ether is less dense than water, the ethereal layer...
During the inhalation, we inhale the atmospheric air which contains not only the molecular oxygen but nitrogen and several other gases. In alveoli, oxygen has a greater concentration than it...
This is the maximum osmolarity that the peripheral veins can tolerate. Glucose solutions of greater concentration should be administered through a large central vein such as a subclavian vein to...
The main functions of peripheral vision are :- 1) recognition of well known structures and forms with no need to focus by the fovea like line of sight. 2) identification...
The PST focuses on the RBC's, WBC's, and platelets, and provides information about the number and shape of these cells. It helps doctors diagnose certain blood disorders or other medical...
Peripheral protein is only located in the inner or outer surface of the phospholipid bilayer like floating iceberg whereas integral protein is embedded in the whole bilayer. Integral have hydrophobic...
Proteins are biological macromolecules that are diverse in shape size and function. Enzymes are molecules that facilitate reactions in a living cell without undergoing too much change i.e....
peripheral proteins are found on the surface of the membrane, not deeply embedded and can disconnect without affecting the structure of the membrane. some of their functions are; some act...
These molecules are called phospholipids (2 fatty acid "tails" with a phosphate group "head"). They tend to form phospholipid bilayers because of the fact that the fatty acid "tails" are...
