| Experiments conducted in the late 1960s led to a new concept of membrane structure, as detailed in the fluid mosaic model proposed in 1972. |
|
| The heterogeneous nature of natural membranes is described by the fluid mosaic model, where the proteins are randomly dispersed in a two-dimensional lipid bilayer matrix. |
|
| The fluid mosaic model is thought to apply not just to the plasma membrane but to all biological membranes, and it is seen as a dynamic, ever-changing structure. |
|
| As is typical during the development of most scientific understandings, the fluid mosaic model was formed as a result of the analysis of data from many experiments. |
|
| The inner and outer layers of the fluid mosaic model are made of phospholipid molecules arranged so that their hydrophobic tails are in the middle of the membrane. |
|
| The fluid mosaic model of Singer and Nicolson in 1972 shows how proteins are embedded in membranes. |
|
| All modern cells are bounded by cell membranes best described by the fluid mosaic model. |
|
| In 1971 and 1972, Singer and Nicolson presented their fluid mosaic model of cell membrane structure. |
|
| Usual type of widely accepted structure of cell membrane is fluid mosaic model with outward and inward projection of polar heads and non-polar heads with several embedded globular proteins. |
