Die Struktur Der Chloroplasten. Zum Mechanismus Der Photosynthese

The building elements of all photosynthetie lamellar systems are the thylakoids which in general are shaped as flattened vesicles. As shown by electronmicroscopy and X-ray small angle scattering investigations thylakoid membranes have a thickness of about 80 A. They consist of a monomolecular protein layer at the outside of the thylakoid, and of a lipid layer inside the thylakoid whieh probably is also monomolecular.
