Hungarian researchers at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University and the HUN-REN Center for Energy Research have shown that the leaves ...

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 ...

The chloroplast protein transport system includes a motor protein complex, which plays a critical driving role in the translocation of precursor proteins across the chloroplast membrane. Phys.org ...

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are also surrounded by membranes, but they have unusual membrane structures — specifically, each of these organelles has two surrounding membranes instead of just one.

Cell membrane, surrounded by cell wall. Cell contents Cytoplasm, cell organelles include mitochondria, ribosomes and chloroplasts in plants. Cytoplasm, ribosomes present; there are no mitochondria ...

They also use membrane-bound ADP/ATP carrier translocases to exchange ATP for its precursor, ADP. To explore how differences in translocase activity might shed light on chloroplast evolution ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

We are investigating cell biological processes in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This unicellular green alga is a popular model organism for research of chloroplast biogenesis and ...
