Membrane proteins are found in a variety of conformations, with each protein spanning the membrane a set number of times and adopting a particular orientation. Positively charged residues, often located near the boundaries of transmembrane segments, appear to be involved in specifying the topology of membrane proteins.
膜蛋白具有多种构象,每种蛋白跨膜一定次数并采取特定的取向。带正电荷的残基通常位于跨膜片段的边界附近,似乎参与确定膜蛋白的拓扑结构。
