Elasticity Measurements of Chloroplast Membranes — •Maike Jung and Friederike Schmid — Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Mainz, Germany

Biological cells, which are the building blocks of all living organisms, and their intracellular components are all separated by plasma membranes. Those membranes are not only an important selective barrier between different parts of the cell but also serve as a platform for biological and chemical reactions. A detailed understanding of membranes is therefore essential for gaining a comprehensive insight into all living organisms. One important property that describes these plasma membranes is their elasticity, which is dependent on the lipid composition and the proteins incorporated into the membrane. We present experimental measurements of the elasticity for the outer and inner membrane of chloroplasts.
