Abstract
⺠Phospholipid flip-flop in transmembrane peptide-containing vesicles was investigated. ⺠Peptides that contained polar residues in the center of the transmembrane region promoted phospholipid flip-flop. ⺠A bioinformatics approach revealed the presence of polar residues in the transmembrane region of ER membrane proteins. ⺠Polar residues in ER membrane proteins possibly provide flippase-like activity.
