                doi: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.0030066

    Fatty acid anchors:

        Myristoylation from Wikipedia, a good place to start...but not end your searches!

        Palmitoylation, same source.  Again, never stop here. 

        A review of GPI linked proteins (lipid anchored) can be found online with Annual Reviews:
