Interactions in cell membrane.
-
Hydrophobic (most important)–
o Between lipids- In formation of lipid bilayer
o Transmembrane proteins and lipids
-
Van der walls interaction
o Between lipids- In formation of lipid bilayer
o Transmembrane proteins and lipids
-
Electrostatic bonds
o Between transmembrane and peripheral proteins
-
Hydrogen bonds
o Between transmembrane and peripheral proteins
-
Covalent bond (least important)
o Peripheral protein with hydrophilic end of phospholipid
