From chemistry, we know that each methylene (?CH2??) group in a straight-chain hydrocarbon advances the chain length by about 0.13nm. And from studies of protein structure, we know that one turn of an ? helix includes 3.6 amino acid residues and extends the long axis of the helix by about 0.56 nm. Use this information to answer the following: The protein bacteriorhodopsin has 248 amino acids and seven transmembrane segments. Approximately what portion of the amino acids are part of the transmembrane segments? Express your answer as an integer. Incorrect; Try Again; 2 attempts remaining
