High Resolution Gel Electrophoresis of Chloroplast Membrane Polypeptides

Fernando Henriques a,1, William Vaughan a, Roderic Park a
PMCID: PMC541611  PMID: 16659078

Abstract

In the present study we extend previous work from this laboratory on the polypeptide composition of photosynthetic lamellae. Using a high resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis technique, we show that both grana and stroma lamellae have qualitatively very similar polypeptide compositions although some clear quantitative differences are demonstrated.
