Three decades in transport business: studies of metabolite transport in chloroplasts – a personal perspective

摘要

This article gives an historical overview of our group's research on various metabolite translocators of chloroplasts, such as the translocators for phosphorylated intermediates of the Calvin–Benson cycle and of glycolysis, of ADP and ATP, of dicarboxylates, of pyruvate and of hexoses; how it began and where it led to. Wherever appropriate, references will be made to research in other laboratories.
