Hydrophobic vs Hydrophilic

● Integral proteins are hydrophobic on at least part of their surface and
they are therefore embedded in the hydrocarbon chains in the centre
of the membrane. Many integral proteins are transmembrane – they
extend across the membrane, with hydrophilic parts projecting
through the regions of phosphate heads on either side.

● Peripheral proteins are hydrophilic on their surface, so are not

embedded in the membrane. Most of them are attached to the surface
of integral proteins and this attachment is often reversible. Some have
a single hydrocarbon chain attached to them which is inserted into
the membrane, anchoring the protein to the membrane surface.
