The
phospholipid bilayer is the organizational
|
|
|
feature
|
|
|
| • |
Proteins
are imbedded in the bilayer like mosaics
|
|
|
in a
tile
|
|
|
| • |
The
hydrocarbon region of the bilayer is in a fluid
|
|
or liquid
crystalline state
|
|
|
| • |
Proteins
and lipids are free to rotate and move
|
|
|
laterally
