チラコイド膜のユニークな脂質組成：ガラクタではない、ガラクト脂質だ

How sugar-containing lipids shape the structure and function of photosynthetic membranes

Abstract: Thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts are uniquely composed mostly of uncharged galactolipids (MGDG and DGDG) instead of typical phospholipids. This article explores why sugar-based lipids dominate thylakoids, how their structures influence membrane architecture (e.g. curvature and stacking), and how they stabilize photosynthetic protein complex…
