What is the likely identity of these membrane-associated proteins: (a) a protein that is released from a membrane treated with a high-salt solution, which causes disruption of ionic linkages; (b) a protein that is not released from the membrane upon its exposure to a high-salt solution alone, but is released when the membrane is incubated with an enzyme that cleaves phosphate-glycerol bonds and covalent linkages are disrupted; (c) a protein that is not released from the membrane upon exposure to a high-salt solution, but is released after the addition of the detergent sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Will the activity of the protein released in part (c) be preserved following its release?

Some proteins reside in the hydrophobic lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Would hydrophilic groups of these proteins still be facing the lipid "solvent"?
