The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...

Chloroplasts also have a third internal membrane called the thylakoid membrane, which is extensively folded and appears as stacks of flattened disks in electron micrographs. The thylakoids contain ...

In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to target both chloroplast- and nuclear-encoded proteins to the thylakoid membranes that house the photosynthetic machinery (Fig. 1). The first SRP ...

so-called thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts swells under drought stress. However, swelling presumably requires water, of which there is very little in plant cells under such conditions ...

The chloroplast thylakoid membrane is the site for the initial steps of photosynthesis that convert solar energy into chemical energy, ultimately powering almost all life on earth. The heterogeneous ...

Another project is studying translational control in the chloroplast. Joerg Nickelsen and William Zerges. (2013) Thylakoid biogenesis has joined the new era of bacterial cell biology. Frontiers in ...
