Study Notes
Integral Proteins
- Embedded within the cell membrane.
- Types include single-pass, multi-pass, and transmembrane proteins.
- Transmembrane proteins span the entire membrane.
Peripheral Proteins
- Attached to only one side (leaflet) of the membrane.
- Interact via ionic bonds.
- Relatively easy to detach from the membrane.
