1. Review of the Fundamental Structures and Functions of Biological Membranes 

All cells have a plasmamembrane, eukaryotes have maximized use of membranes

The membranes and membrane‐bound compartments of eukaryotic cells allow for the far greater complexity of structure and function in those cells

Plasma membrane

Cell wallBacterialchromosome

Prokaryotes:Cytoplasm bound by plasma membrane, no organellesNo nucleus, DNA in an unbound region called the nucleoid

The plasma membrane is a selective barrier that allows sufficient passage of oxygen, nutrients, and waste to service the volume of every cell

Cholesterol

•The steroid cholesterol has different effects on membrane fluidity at different temperatures

•At warm temperatures (such as 37°C), cholesterol restrains movement of phospholipids

•At cool temperatures, it maintains fluidity by preventing tight packing

c. Cooperative/Coupled binding ‐ Substrate binding in one site effects binding of substrate in second site by changing affinity 

Hemoglobin binds oxygenwith greater affinity whenthere is lots of oxygen – thisensures flow of oxygen to the tissues and not away.
