Question

it is extremely common for integral membrane proteins to have long alpha - helices that span the lipid bilayer itself. now consider the ribbon structure of the chloride channel (cftr) that you analyzed before (repeated here). is the following statement true or false? \the chloride channel is an exception to the observation that many integral membrane proteins have long alpha - helices that span the lipid bilayer, and has other structures that are embedded in the membrane itself. true false

Explanation:

Integral membrane proteins like the chloride - channel (CFTR) typically have long alpha - helices spanning the lipid bilayer. The structure shown also indicates alpha - helices spanning the membrane. So, it is not an exception.

Answer:

False
