a: membrane proteins ~
b: sandwiches
What:
"They have a hydrophobic region in between two hydrophilic regions"
Maybe, but since many protein are globular, the shape of theses proteins is more like a steamed dumpling. These have bread on the outside and meat on the inside. Any, usually they are really tastey.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
