Transmembrane Proteins

Welcome to the Humbio Core Chem bootcamp online! The following concepts will be covered in this tutorial:
o The hydrophobic effect and transmembrane protein structure
o Synthesis of transmembrane proteins
o Single-pass transmembrane proteins: Receptor tyrosine kinases
o Multi-pass transmembrane proteins: K+ ion channels
At 8:22, answer the following question:
1) What is the reason sodium ions can't pass through a potassium ion channel?
a) The energy barrier for interaction of sodium with the pore is too high.
b) Sodium is too large to interact with all eight oxygens in the pore.
c) Sodium is too small to interact with all eight oxygens in the pore.
