Evolution of Thylakoid Structure
2005Photosynthesis, an ancient process, originated among the earliest forms of life. Its broad distribution through at least half of the eubacterial phyla is an indication of this antiquity and, as stated by Woese (1987), the complexity of this process deems it unlikely that such a process arose on multiple occasions.

Subfractionation of Cyanobacterial Thylakoids
1989Cyanobacteria are free-living procaryotes capable of oxygenic photosynthesis, containing both photosystem I and photosystem II [1] including the oxygen evolving complex. Cyanobacteria as a model system for studying the oxygenic photosynthesis has a great advantage compared to plant chloroplasts; being a procaryote organism it permits the use of modern ...

Properties of thylakoids and thylakoid particles derived from structurally different chloroplasts
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1981Abstract Structurally and functionally different tobacco chloroplasts were subjected to digitonin treatment and subsequent fractional centrifugation. The light-harvesting chlorophyll a chlorophyll b- protein complex was found to be enriched in the most dense fraction regardless of the presence of grana in the original preparation.

Architecture of the Thylakoid Membrane [PDF]
, 1999 This chapter presents our current state of knowledge of the molecular composition of the photosynthetic membranes of plants. Since oxygenic photosynthesis is believed to be similar in plants, algae and some prokaryotes, such as cyanobacteria or prochlorophytes, comments are given in some paragraphs to stress differences and common properties between ...

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2007
Vipp1 (vesicle inducing protein in plastids 1) is found in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts where it is essential for thylakoid formation. Arabidopsis thaliana mutant plants with a reduction of Vipp1 to about 20% of wild type content become albinotic at an early stage.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2014
Thylakoid membranes from spinach were separated into grana and stroma thylakoid fractions which were characterized by several methods (pigment content, protein gel electrophoresis, photosystem activities, and electron microscopy analysis) to confirm that the intact thylakoids were differentiated into the two domains. The results of photoelectrochemical

Proteomic Analysis of Thylakoid Membranes
2010Chlamydomonas is a model organism to study photosynthesis. Thylakoid membranes comprise several proteins belonging to photosystems I and II. In this chapter, we show the accurate proteomic measurements in thylakoid membranes. The chlorophyll-containing membrane protein complexes were precipitated using chloroform/methanol solution. These complexes were

Thylakoid differentiation in endocyanelles
Physiologia Plantarum, 1983Cyanophora paradoxa Korshikov synchronized autotrophically in a light‐dark regime of 14 h light and 10 h dark divides in the last two hours of the dark period. The division rate of the free‐living blue‐green alga, Synechococcus leopoliensis Raciborski, at identical culture conditions (24°C; 32 W m−2) is only slightly lowered in the light period.

Thylakoid components and processes
1993Bioproductivity is powered by solar energy conversion within the pigment-protein complexes of the thylakoid membrane. If these complexes are somehow modified, changes in cell physiology, growth and biomass yield are inevitable. It must be emphasised that effects far removed in time and space from the photochemical reactions are frequently traced to ...

The Electrochemical Properties of the Thylakoid Membrane
1999This chapter is focused on the electrochemical properties of the thylakoid membrane and illustrates their dependence on energization. Topics include primary reactions, charge separation, charge recombination, secondary electron flow, protonmotive force, charge dissipation and membrane conductance.
