Detergents are indispensable in the isolation of integral membrane proteins from biological
membranes to study their intrinsic structural and functional properties. Solubilization …

In addition to their well-established function as collectors of light energy for photosynthesis
and as quenchers of triplet chlorophyll and singlet oxygen, carotenoids of higher plant …

The major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHC-II) serves as the principal solar
energy collector in the photosynthesis of green plants and presumably also functions in …

The structure of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b–protein complex, an integral membrane
protein, has been determined at 3.4 Å resolution by electron crystallography of two …

The plant light‐harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHC‐II) collects and transmits solar
energy for photosynthesis in chloroplast membranes and has essential roles in regulation of …

▪ Abstract The chlorophyll-carotenoid binding proteins responsible for absorption and
conversion of light energy in oxygen-evolving photosynthetic organisms belong to two …

The lipid bilayer of the thylakoid membrane in plant chloroplasts and cyanobacterial cells is
predominantly composed of four unique lipid classes; monogalactosyldiacylglycerol …

Chloroplast membranes contain high levels of the galactolipids
monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG). The isolation …

Introduction to Proteins provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the
structure, function, and motion of proteins for students, faculty, and researchers at all levels …

This review describes the recent knowledge about tightly bound lipids in membrane protein
structures and deduces general principles of the binding interactions. Bound lipids are …
