Calcium Uptake, ATPase and Photophosphorylation by Chloroplasts in vitro

Abstract

The uptake of calcium and the levels of ATPase and photophosphorylation have been measured simultaneously in chloroplasts and the same experimental conditions, which facilitates the comparison of various inhibitors. The terminal phosphate of ATP and the calcium may accumulate within the chloroplast grana. The results have a bearing on the chemiosmotic hypothesis.
