Discuss the following statement: Membrane proteins that span the membrane many times can undergo a conformational change
Question:
Discuss the following statement: “Membrane proteins that span the membrane many times can undergo a conformational change upon ligand binding that can be sensed on the other side of the membrane. Thus, individual protein molecules can transmit a signal across a membrane. In contrast, individual single-span membrane proteins cannot transmit a conformational change across the membrane but require oligomerization.”
