The whole week I really wanted to share a cool a fact I learned, but I always forgot, so here it is:
There are two enzymes called flippase and floppase! And they do flip-flop-diffusion!
I love it when science things have silly names

You guys. You guys. There are enzymes called scramblase and flippase. That is the cutest thing ever.
I don't need to know them, they were just in an illustration of a cell membrane my professor used, but apparently (according to Wikipedia) they move phospholipids around within the cell membrane.
Oh wait! Stop the presses. There is also a floppase!
