Answer: Peripheral membrane proteins

Explanation: Hi, the Peripheral membrane is a Protein that is physically associated with a membrane, via interactions with lipid headgroups at the membrane surface or with another membrane protein. Peripheral membrane proteins are typically bound to the membrane surface, but may dip slightly into the lipid bilayer.

Peripheral membrane proteins can form a multitude of higher-order structures due to membrane-mediated interactions.
