define peripheral lipid and their types ?​

Answer 1

Peripheral protein, or peripheral membrane proteins, are a group of biologically active molecules formed from amino acids which interact with the surface of the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Unlike integral membrane proteins, peripheral proteins do not enter into the hydrophobic space within the cell membrane. Instead, peripheral proteins have specific sequences of amino acids which allow them to attract to the phosphate heads of the lipid molecules or to integral proteins.

Answer 2

Peripheral protein, or peripheral membrane proteins, are a group of biologically active molecules formed from amino acids which interact with the surface of the lipid bilayer of cellmembranes. Unlike integral membrane proteins, peripheral proteins do not enter into the hydrophobic space within the cell membrane. Instead, peripheral proteins have specific sequences of amino acids which allow them to attract to the phosphate heads of the lipid molecules or to integral proteins.

The ability to attach to the membrane but not be locked to it allows peripheral proteins to work on the surface of the cell membrane. Peripheral proteins can be activated or disabled through a number of different pathways. Many peripheral proteins are also a part of many complex biochemical pathways. They can be involved in moving substances within or outside of a cell, activate other proteins and enzymes, or be involved in cell to cell interactions.
