| Method |
Deepetching, a technique which exposes the true surfaces of biological membranes by sublimination of frozen dilute buffer |
| Comments |
The first definitive study of
this kind demonstrated that the ATP synthase complex
was limited to non-stacked stroma thylakoids and
that the density of those complexes was about 700
per µm2 of stroma membrane (primary source). |
