Question
4. Amphiphilic Lipids. Detergents are small amphiphilic molecules that tend to form micelles in water.
(a) Draw the structures of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100
(b) For each drawn detergent, indicate which portions (ends) of the molecules are hydrophilic and
hydrophobic. Justify your answer (explain why hydrophilic vs hydrophobic).
(c) Draw the micelle structure for one of the detergents.
(d) Why does the detergent form a micelle and not a bilayer? Why do detergents denature proteins and
remove grease from your clothing?
