Answer:
represent about a third of the proteins in living organisms. Based on their structure, there are main three types of membrane proteins: the first one is integral membrane protein that is permanently anchored or part of the membrane, the second type is peripheral membrane protein that is only temporarily attached to the lipid bilayer or to other integral proteins, and the third one is lipid-anchored proteins (Fig. 1). Here we only describe the first two types of membrane protein.
