  3. Background • Interactions between lipid molecules and proteins crucial role in regulation biological function. • Membrane proteins: • Integral proteins: e.g. photosynthetic reaction center: • Fully embedded into membrane • Peripheral proteins: e.g. phospholipase C-1: • Only weakly bound to surface, separable by change in pH or ionic strength

  4. Background • Understanding the physics of protein-lipid interactions leads to deeper insight Equilibrium constant ↕ Standard free energy THERMODYNAMICS, NOT MECHANISM

  5. Modeling protein-membrane binding lipid bilayers sandostatin

  6. Free energy of binding Conformational Change. Non-polar hydrophobic effect (expulsion of non-polar compounds from water Changes in motional degrees of freedom. Difference in dielectric properties between water and hydrocarbon region (mutual polarization effects). Direct electrostatic interaction between basic residues and anionic lipids. Changes inside membrane.
