Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

A three-dimensional structure of cpSRP43 provides insights into how plants have adapted the SRP for post-translational targeting of membrane proteins. In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to ...

The membrane that surrounds cells in living organisms is extremely flexible and sensitive. How it protects itself from damage ...

The paper focused on enzymes that help build the photosynthetic chloroplast membranes in plant cells. One of those enzymes is ...

Chloroplast, which is a double-membrane-bounded organelle, is the main site for CO 2 fixation via photosynthesis in green ...

Researchers at Forschungszentrum Julich have now used cryo-electron microscopy to uncover intriguing new information. Known from the photosynthetic system of plants, algae, and bacteria, the membrane ...
