"Some peripheral proteins may serve the role of enzymes. Others are involved in changing cell shape during cell division & muscle contraction, or linking cells together."

No, Predominately located in cystosolic surface of the plasma membrane.
Patients who require moderate energy and protein for up to 2 weeks need peripheral parenteral nutrition.
Peripheral proteins play a crucial role in assisting transport proteins in moving molecules across the cell membrane. They help in the recognition and binding of specific molecules, as well as in the regulation of transport protein activity. This collaboration ensures efficient and selective transport of substances in and out of the cell.
Integral protein. They wedge themselves into the phospholipids that make up part of the plasma membrane. The other type of protein is peripheral protein but it sits on the outside of the membrane.
Cholesterol molecules embedded in the lipid bilayer help maintain the fluidity and flexibility of cell membranes by stabilizing them at different temperatures. Additionally, unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid molecules can prevent tight packing of the lipids and enhance membrane flexibility. Proteins such as integrins and spectrin can also play a role in maintaining membrane flexibility by allowing for movement and deformation of the membrane.

A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein. Transmembrane proteins span the lipid bilayer, allowing them to create channels for ions to pass through the membrane. Peripheral proteins are typically found on the surface of the membrane and do not form channels.
The protein that projects from the outer surface of the membrane is termed as an extrinsic or peripheral membrane protein. These proteins are not embedded within the lipid bilayer but instead are attached to the surface of the membrane.
Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These molecules attach to integral membrane proteins, or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer. The regulatory protein subunits of many ion channels and transmembrane receptors, for example, may be defined as peripheral membrane proteins. In contrast to integral membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins tend to collect in the water-soluble component, or fraction, of all the proteins extracted during a protein purification procedure. Proteins with GPI anchors are an exception to this rule and can have purification properties similar to those of integral membrane proteins.

The two main proteins found in the cell membrane are integral proteins and peripheral proteins. Integral proteins are embedded within the membrane and can span across it, while peripheral proteins are located on the surface of the membrane and are not embedded within it. Both types of proteins play important roles in various cellular functions including transport, communication, and cell signaling.
