Fast Diffusion of the Unassembled PetC1-GFP Protein in the Cyanobacterial Thylakoid Membrane
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]
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 ...

Tocopherol and plastoquinone synthesis in spinach chloroplasts subfractions [PDF]
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.

The toxicity of BDE-47 to the photosystem of Lemna minor fronds
To elucidate the toxicity of 2,2ʹ,4,4ʹ-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) on photosynthetic primary processes, in vivo and in vitro treatments of BDE-47 were performed.

Thylakoid Membrane Bioenergetics
Oxygenic photosynthesis is a unique and essential photochemical process in which solar energy is used to oxidize water and to form carbohydrates. In this process molecular oxygen is released as a by-product. Thylakoid membranes are specialized photosynthetic electron transfer membranes which represent one of the most elaborate bioenergetic machines ...

Localization of a 64-kDa phosphoprotein in the lumen between the outer and inner envelopes of pea chloroplasts [PDF]
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 ...

Knock-Out of the Genes Coding for the Rieske Protein and the ATP-Synthase δ-Subunit of Arabidopsis [PDF]
In Arabidopsis, the nuclear genes PetC and AtpD code for the Rieske protein of the cytochrome b6/f (cyt b6/f) complex and the δ-subunit of the chloroplast ATP synthase (cpATPase), respectively.

Interaction of flavodoxin with cyanobacterial thylakoids
Flavodoxin from the cyanobacterium Anabaena PCC 7119 has been shown to mediate, under illumination, the transfer of electrons from the thylakoidal membranes that were isolated from the same organism, to both the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase and cytochrome c.
