<jats:p> The stoichiometric amounts and the photoactivity kinetics of photosystem I (PSI) and of the α and β components of photosystem II (PSII <jats:sub>α</jats:sub> and PSII <jats:sub>β</jats:sub> ) were compared in spinach chloroplast membrane (thylakoid) fractions derived from appressed and nonappressed regions. Stroma-exposed thylakoid fractions from the nonappressed regions were isolated by differential centrifugation following a mechanical press treatment of the chloroplasts. Thylakoid vesicles derived mainly from the appressed membranes of grana were isolated by the aqueous polymer two-phase partition method. Stroma-exposed thylakoids were found to have a chlorophyll <jats:italic>a</jats:italic> /chlorophyll <jats:italic>b</jats:italic> ratio of 6.0 and a PSII <jats:sub>β</jats:sub> /PSI reaction center ratio of 0.3. Kinetic analysis of system II photoactivity revealed the absence of PSII <jats:sub>α</jats:sub> from stroma-exposed thylakoids. The photoactivity of system I in stroma-exposed thylakoids showed a single kinetic component identical to that of unfractionated chloroplasts, suggesting that PSI does not receive excitation energy from the PSII-chlorophyll <jats:italic>ab</jats:italic> light-harvesting complex. Thus, stroma-exposed thylakoids are significantly enriched in both PSI and PSII <jats:sub>β</jats:sub> . Inside-out vesicles from the appressed membranes of grana-partition regions had a chlorophyll <jats:italic>a</jats:italic> /chlorophyll <jats:italic>b</jats:italic> ratio of 2.0 and a PSII/PSI reaction center ratio of 10.0. The photoactivity of system II showed the membranes of the grana-partition regions to be significantly enriched in PSII <jats:sub>α</jats:sub> . We conclude that PSII <jats:sub>α</jats:sub> is exclusively located in the membranes of the grana partitions while PSII <jats:sub>β</jats:sub> and PSI are located in stroma-exposed thylakoids. The low PSI reaction center (P700) content of vesicles derived from grana partitions and the kinetic homogeneity of the PSI complex suggest total exclusion of P700 as a functional component in the membrane of the grana-partition region. </jats:p>
