She was particularly interested in the Golgi apparatus, a cluster of membrane-bound compartments that help coordinate this trafficking, and spent much of her time manipulating the organelle’s activity ...

More insight into the process could improve crop productivity WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, ...

The membrane protein Vipp1, known from the photosynthetic apparatus of plants, algae, and bacteria, can form various structures that could serve as tools to stabilize the cell membrane and ...

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus to function properly and to assemble multiprotein complexes like the photosynthetic apparatus. Specialized ...
