The following points highlight the top four historical models of Plasma Membrane. The models are: 1. Lipid and Lipid Bilayer Models 2. Unit Membrane Model (Protein-Lipid Bilayer-Protein) 3. Fluid Mosaic Model 4. Dannelli Model. 1. Lipid and Lipid Bilayer Model: This model to explain the structure of plasma membrane was given by Overton, Gorion and Grendel. Previously only indirect information [...]

In this article we will discuss about the chemical composition and functions of plasma membrane. Chemical Composition of Plasma Membrane: The membrane is mainly composed of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. Water makes about 29% of total weight. Robertson (1959) proposed that plasma membrane is three-layered structure where proteins form the outer and inner layers of membrane that encloses lipids to [...]
