Different possibilities for the formation of complexes of copper and zinc with chlorophyll inside photosynthetic organelles: chloroplasts and thylakoids [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2007 The possibility of the formation of copper and zinc complexes with chlorophyll in photosynthetic organelles (chloroplasts) and suborganelles (thylakoids) was studied.

The Role of Phosphorylation Dynamics of CURVATURE THYLAKOID 1B in Plant Thylakoid Membranes [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2019 Thylakoid membranes in land plant chloroplasts are organized into appressed and nonappressed membranes, which contribute to the control of energy distribution between the two photosystems (PSI and PSII) from the associated light-harvesting complexes (LHCs).

Thylakoid Protein Phosphorylation in Chloroplasts
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2021 Abstract Because of their abundance and extensive phosphorylation, numerous thylakoid proteins stand out amongst the phosphoproteins of plants and algae. In particular, subunits of light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) and of photosystem II (PSII) are dynamically phosphorylated and dephosphorylated in response to light conditions and ...

Genesis of grana and stroma thylakoids in leaf chloroplasts of four orchid species
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 In the chloroplasts of orchid leaves (Paphiopedilum mastersianum Pfitz., Stanhopea tigrina Batem., Coelogyne cristata LDL and Cymbidium insigne Rolfe) grana stacks differentiate on the base of primary thylakoids. This process occurs by stratification due

Functions of tocopherols in the cells of plants and other photosynthetic organisms [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2014 Tocopherol synthesis has only been observed in photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae and some cyanobacteria). Tocopherol is synthesized in the inner membrane of chloroplasts and distributed between chloroplast membranes, thylakoids and plastoglobules ...

Heterocyst Thylakoid Bioenergetics [PDF]
Life, 2019 Heterocysts are specialized cells that differentiate in the filaments of heterocystous cyanobacteria. Their role is to maintain a microoxic environment for the nitrogenase enzyme during diazotrophic growth. The lack of photosynthetic water oxidation in the heterocyst puts special constraints on the energetics for nitrogen fixation, and the electron ...

Biogenesis of thylakoid membranes
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2015 Thylakoids mediate photosynthetic electron transfer and represent one of the most elaborate energy-transducing membrane systems. Despite our detailed knowledge of its structure and function, much remains to be learned about how the machinery is put together.
