Question

what is peripheral and extrinsic protein. ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Peripheral proteins

These are the proteins which are located in the inner or outer surface of the phospholipid.

Peripheral membrane proteins interact with the hydrophilic polar head groups of the lipid molecule

Many peripheral proteins are also a part of many complex biochemical pathways.

Extrinsic Proteins

→ They are held to the cell membrane by weak molecular attractions, like ionic, hydrogen, or Van der Waals bonds.

→ Extrinsic proteins serve in transport of molecules and as receptors.

→They are loosely attached by ionic bonds or calcium bridges to the electrically charged .
