. The structure of chloroplast membrane proteins and their organization into photosynthetically‐active multimeric complexes is described. Extensive use has been made of information derived from gene sequencing and other biochemical studies to predict likely protein conformations. These predictions have been assimilated into structural models of the various thylakoid complexes. The enzymatic activities of the complexes have also been described and where possible related to individual polypeptides.
