Shown below (left) is a hydropathy plot for a polytopic integral membrane protein.
Also shown (right) are four topology diagrams (A-D) for integral membrane proteins.
Red arrows indicate the positions at which lysine residues are readily labelled with a chemical reagent added to the extracellular medium.
Which topology diagram is most consistent with the hydropathy plot and lysine labelling pattern shown?
