An important group of peripheral membrane proteins are enzymes such as the phospholipases that cleave the head groups of phospholipids. What properties must these enzymes exhibit?

Phospholipids are amphipathic lipids, which are found in all cell membranes, being available as lipid bilayers. They belong to the group of glycerol-derived lipids, presenting a structure

similar to triglycerides. The current interest on

they derive in their effectiveness to incorporate different fatty acids at the level of the cell membrane, since they have a better absorption and use than triglycerides. This article reviews the published evidence.
