Fluid mosaic

Chapter 3: Membranes and transport

The fluid mosaic, proposed by Singer and Nicolson in 1972, pictures the membrane as a two-dimensional liquid of lipids with proteins embedded in it rather than merely coating the surface; sideways diffusion is the default, and the cell halts selected proteins by linking them to the cytoskeleton or the matrix, or by a tight-junction fence.
