| amphipathic |
An amphipathic (a.k.a. amphiphilic) molecule contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups.The hydrophobic group can be a long carbon chain, with the form: CH3(CH2)n, with 4 < n < 16.The hydrophilic group falls into one of the following categories:# Ionic Molecules#* Anionic (with respect to the charge on the group maintaining hydrophobia). Examples are:#** fatty acids: RCO2-Na+;#** sulfates: RSO4-Na+;#** sulfonates: RSO3-Na+.#* Cationic. ...

Having both hydrophilic and hyphophobic regions. All proteins which are membrane bound must be amphipathic to be anchored in the lipid bilayer and to be functional in an aqueous environment.
