Hi friend

In 1972,Singer and Nicolson suggested a model,called fluid mosaic model, to explain the ultrastructure of the plasma membrane or any other membrane or any other membrane of the cell.According to them plasma membrane is made up of a bilayer of phospholipids.Two types of protein molecules 'floated about' in the fluid phospholipid layer:: Intrinsic proteins,which completely covers the lipid bilayer and extrinsic proteins,which occur either on the outer surface or on the inner surface of the lipid membrane .The fluid mosaic model of the membrane has been described as a"""a number of proteins icebergs floating in the sea of lipids "",This model is the most accepted one, as it describes both properties and organisation of the membrane..

Hope it is helpful....
