Molecular architecture of thylakoid membranes within intact spinach chloroplasts [PDF]
eLifeThylakoid membranes coordinate the light reactions of photosynthesis across multiple scales, coupling the architecture of an elaborate membrane network to the spatial organization of individual protein complexes embedded within this network.

On the non-oxygenic origins of thylakoids [PDF]
Communications BiologyThylakoid membranes are the site of oxygenic photosynthesis, one of the most important biochemical processes on earth. The ancestral state of these membranes is represented today in Gloeobacterales, where they are lacking and photosynthesis instead takes

Diclofenac Interacts with Photosynthetic Apparatus: Isolated Spinach Chloroplasts and Thylakoids as a Model System [PDF]
PlantsDiclofenac, often detected in environmental samples, poses a potential hazard to the aquatic environment. The present study aimed to understand the effect of this drug on photosynthetic apparatus, which is a little-known aspect of its phytotoxicity ...

Light Mediated Generation of Silver Nanoparticles by Spinach Thylakoids/Chloroplasts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The unique potential of chloroplasts/thylakoids to harness light energy to transport electrons from H2O to various entities was exploited for reduction of Ag+ to generate nanoparticles (NPs).

Isolation of wheat thylakoids for protein analysis
MethodsX, 2023 Thylakoids host a large number of proteins to confer photosynthesis and chemical biosynthesis essential for plant survival and growth. Successful isolation of high-quality thylakoids is the first step to studying the compositions and function of ...

3D ultrastructural organization of whole Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells studied by nanoscale soft x-ray tomography [PDF]
, 2012 The complex architecture of their structural elements and compartments is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells. The creation of high resolution models of whole cells has been limited by the relatively low resolution of conventional light microscopes and the ...

A Sec14 domain protein is required for photoautotrophic growth and chloroplast vesicle formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2020 In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and maintained is poorly understood.
