Stacks of monogalactolipid bilayers can transform into a lattice of water channels
Summary: The lipid matrix of thylakoid membranes is a lamellar bilayer, but under a certain condition it can convert locally into a nonlamellar structure. This is possible because one of the main membrane lipids, MGDG, promotes the formation of an inverse hexagonal phase. Here, the spontaneous trans...
