Abstract
THE protein layer in the lipoprotein lamellae of chloroplasts must be considered as an aggregation of two-dimensional crystallites, each one consisting of 16–32 lattice points. The crystallites can either be arranged regularly with ‘amorphous’ interspaces or irregularly in a fluid-like structure. This concept results from small-angle X-ray diagrams1.
