Abstract
Strongly hydrophobic integral membrane proteins are difficult to purify and characterise using conventional biochemical techniques. Eight years ago my co-workers and I initiated a research programme using molecular biological techniques to help elucidate the structure and function of important proteins in the plasma membrane of plant cells. We first turned out attention to the H+-ATPase, since this enzyme is easy to assay and is one of the more abundant transport proteins in this membrane (Surrowy and Sussman, 1987).
