Entropy and biological systems: experimentally-investigated entropy-driven stacking of plant photosynthetic membranes [PDF]
, 2014 According to the Second Law of thermodynamics, an overall increase of entropy contributes to the driving force for any physicochemical process, but entropy has seldom been investigated in biological systems.

3-D Ultrastructure of O. tauri: Electron Cryotomography of an Entire Eukaryotic Cell [PDF]
, 2007 The hallmark of eukaryotic cells is their segregation of key biological functions into discrete, membrane-bound organelles. Creating accurate models of their ultrastructural complexity has been difficult in part because of the limited resolution of light

Fast Diffusion of the Unassembled PetC1-GFP Protein in the Cyanobacterial Thylakoid Membrane
Life, 2020 Biological membranes were originally described as a fluid mosaic with uniform distribution of proteins and lipids. Later, heterogeneous membrane areas were found in many membrane systems including cyanobacterial thylakoids.

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 ...

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.

Localization of a 64-kDa phosphoprotein in the lumen between the outer and inner envelopes of pea chloroplasts [PDF]
, 1987 The identification and localization of a marker protein for the intermembrane space between the outer and inner chloroplast envelopes is described. This 64-kDa protein is very rapidly labeled by [γ-32P]ATP at very low (30 nM) ATP concentrations and the ...

Tocopherol and plastoquinone synthesis in spinach chloroplasts subfractions [PDF]
, 1980 Subfractions isolated from intact purified spinach chloroplasts are able to prenylate the aromatic moiety of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 precursors. The biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 is a compartmentalized process.

A brief history of thylakoid biogenesis [PDF]
Open Biology, 2019 The thylakoid membrane network inside chloroplasts harbours the protein complexes that are necessary for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Cellular processes for building and altering this membrane network are therefore essential for life on Earth.
