Transcribed Image Text:

In the protein, the side chains of the amino acids (denoted by R) are exposed to different environments in the cell. Below is a fragment of a cell membrane with the channel protein spanning the membrane. A. Surface of the protein exposed to aqueous cytoplasm Nonpolar Aqueous solution Aqueous solution NO B. Surface of the protein inside the channel C. Surface of the protein exposed to the membrane interior Refer to the amino acid chart and suggest the amino acids that could be found on the protein surfaces A, B, and C. (Hint: think about weak intermolecular interactions of the amino acid side chains and the environment).
