Protein induced modulation of chloroplast membrane morphology

Protein induced modulation of chloroplast membrane morphology

Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition. While it is established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been only recently suggested that elevated membrane protein concentrations may affect shape and organization of membranes. We an...
