Time for a thread!🧵 How different is the molecular organization of thylakoids in “higher” plants🌱? To find out, we teamed up with @profmattjohnson.bsky.social to dive into spinach chloroplasts with #CryoET ❄️🔬. Curious? ..Read on!

Pleased to share my very general review of Photosynthesis now published in Nature Reviews Mol Cell Biol
🌞🌱
rdcu.be/em1lz Hopefully a useful primer for Postgrad and undergrad students

Structure, regulation and assembly of the photosynthetic electron transport chain

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology - The electron transfer chain in chloroplast thylakoid membranes uses solar energy to produce NADPH and ATP, which power carbon fixation into biomass. This...
