| Research Abstract |
To understand physiological function of the galactolipids, dominant membrane lipids in the photosynthetic membranes, we tried to substitute those lipids to other glyco- and phospho-lipids. Digalactosyldiacylglycerol could be substituted by glucosylgalactosyldiacylglycerol, but not by phosphatidylcholine. These results suggest that at least a part of glycolipids in the current photosynthetic membrane systems can be physiologically complemented by structurally similar glycolipids.
