Composition and physical properties of membranes
• Fluid phospholipid molecules held by weak hydrophobic interactions.
• Most of the lipids and some proteins can drift laterally in the plane of the membrane, but rarely flip-flop from one layer to the other.
Lateral movement(~107 times per second)
Flip-flop(~ once per month)
Movement of phospholipids

• Phospholipids move rapidly.• Proteins
– Some move more slowly guided/driven by the motor proteins attached to the cytoskeleton.
– Other never move, anchored by the cytoskeleton.

• Cholesterol is wedged between phospholipid molecules in the plasma membrane of animals cells.
• At warm temperatures, it restrains the movement of phospholipids and reduces fluidity.
• At cool temperatures, it maintains fluidity by preventing tight packing.
