To the right is a diagram of a segment of red blood cell membrane. Which protein(s) is/are peripheral proteins?
Which protein(s) is/are integral transmembrane proteins?
You are interested in studying the mobility of the band protein (shown in red & pink) and assessing it using FRAP. Draw the graph obtained from such an experiment (time on the X-axis, fluorescence on the Y-axis). Explain your results.
Describe the sorting pathway, starting at a free ribosome, that glycophorin, a glycosylated protein, follows to end up at its final destination in the cell. Include in your answer how and where it becomes glycosylated.
