The story of life on Earth is deeply intertwined with the evolution of photosynthesis, a process that transformed the ...

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 ...

The photosynthetic machinery is housed within the thylakoid membranes of plants, algae and cyanobacteria; we study how these complexes are arranged and how the membrane morphology adapts to changing ...

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 ...

Vipp1 is particularly important, as it is involved in the formation and maintenance of thylakoid membranes—membranes in the chloroplasts of plant cells where the light reaction of photosynthesis ...
