The alpha helices are amphipathic : their outer ( water-contacting ) surfaces are polar, while their inner surfaces are largely hydrophobic.
22.
In aqueous solutions, micelles are assemblies of amphipathic molecules with their hydrophilic heads exposed to solvent and their hydrophobic tails in the center.
23.
Type I AFP consists of a single, long, amphipathic alpha helix, about 3.3-4.5 kD in size.
24.
The influenza virus utilizes these amphipathic helices in M2 to alter membrane curvature at the budding neck of the virus in a cholesterol dependent manner.
25.
All known cases have a common structure consisting of two perpendicular anti-parallel beta sheets, followed by a C-terminal amphipathic helix.
26.
IL-26, a human TH17 cell derived cytokine, is a cationic amphipathic protein that kills extracellular bacteria via membrane-pore formation.
27.
One of FtsA's functions in cytokinesis is to tether FtsZ polymers to the cytoplasmic membrane via a conserved C-terminal amphipathic helix.
28.
Two of them are discontinuous, but subunit NuoL contains a 110 ?long amphipathic ?-helix, spanning the entire length of the domain.
29.
Epsin has several alpha helices that possess amphipathic properties, which allows it to partition between the hydrophobic core of the membrane and the hydrophilic aqueous environment.
30.
Predictions based on the mathematical formulation of that idea, the amphipathic hypothesis, provided strong support for what was ultimately demonstrated conclusively by X-ray crystallography.
