What feature do integral membrane proteins and lipid-linked membrane proteins share that distinguishes them from peripheral membrane proteins? Question 6 options: One can remove them from the membrane without using detergents. Part of the molecule is in direct contact with the hydrophobic interior of the membrane. They completely span the membrane at least once. They do not "flip flop" from one side of the bilayer to the other. They rarely interact tightly with other membrane proteins.

what is the primary characteristic of peripheral membrane proteins? they cannot be post-translationally modified they span the entire lipid bilayer, sometimes multiple times weak intermolecular forces keep the attached to the lipid membrane detergents or nonpolar solvents are necessary to remove them from the lipid bilayer

9. Peripheral membrane proteins: A) are generally noncovalently bound to membrane lipids. B) are usually denatured when released from membranes. C) can be released from membranes only by treatment with detergent(s). D) may have functional units on both sides of the membrane. E) penetrate deeply into the lipid bilayer.

61. What statement about "peripheral" membrane proteins is INCORRECT? A) They are membrane proteins that interact with the polar head groups of the membrane lipids. B) They are membrane proteins that bind to the surfaces of integral proteins. C) They are membrane proteins that are anchored to the membrane by a covalently attached lipid molecule. D) Polar interactions of peripheral protein and polar head groups of the membrane lipids can be disrupted by adding salts or by changing the pH. E) They are membrane proteins that traverse the lipid bilayer.
