Chloroplast proteases are central to maintaining the functional integrity of the photosynthetic machinery. They regulate the degradation of damaged, misfolded, or obsolete proteins, thereby ensuring ...

Researchers identified a large novel protein complex in the inner chloroplast membrane that functions as a motor to import proteins into the chloroplast. Components of the complex evolved from a ...

The fine structure of the ac-20 strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardi is described. Cells grown mixotrophically in the presence of acetate have a highly disordered chloroplast membrane organization and ...
