Each of the following is typical characteristics of an integral membrane protein transmembrane segment except
| composed primarily of hydrophobic amino acids. |
| amphipathic. |
| 2030 amino acids long. |
| -helical structure. |
| All are characteristics of a typical transmembrane segment |
Solution
except amphipathic because the part of the protein that is embedded in the hydrophobic regions of the bilayer are alpha helical and composed of predominantly hydrophobic amino acids.
