Membrane proteins involved in photosynthesis, a study by electron microscopy

Biological membranes surround all living cells to separate them from their environment and also play an important role in the compartmentization of the cell. These membranes consist mainly of various membrane lipids and proteins. The function of lipids is to form barriers for the flow of polar molecules. Proteins that are embedded in these membranes are called membrane proteins and take care of important biological processes in and over the membrane such as energy and signal transduction. To understand the function of a membrane protein it is very important to elucidate its structure. In this thesis studies concerning the structure determination of membrane proteins involved in photosynthesis are described. The results were obtained by electron microscopy and image analysis. ...
