Progress in chloroplast thylakoid membrane and membrane proteins

Jun Huang

Abstract

In plants and eukaryotic algae,photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.Light reaction occurs in the thylakoid membranes.Thylakoid membranes contain integral and peripheral membrane protein complexes,including the pigments that absorb light energy,which form the photosystems.Much attention has been focused on the thylakoid membranes because of its significance in photosynthesis.Analysis of thylakoid membranes will benefit the study of photosynthetic mechanism.The present review summarizes the three-dimensional conformation,membrane protein composition and function of thylakoid membranes.
