Many metal albums create a feeling of forward movement; lumbering, running, sprinting. Others hold you stationary while buffeting you with gusts of sound. On their sophomore release, Mitochondrion ...

A signal sequence at the tip of a protein recognizes a receptor protein on the outer mitchondrial membrane. This causes diffusion of this tethered protein through the membrane to a contact site. When ...

Two complementary proteomics approaches promise to move us closer to definition of the complete complement of proteins that make up a mitochondrion. What is the set of proteins that constitute an ...

DURING the past few decades the mitochondrion, as a self-contained unit within the cell, has been a magnificent tool in the hands of biochemists, physiologists and anatomists in their attempts to ...

Some mitochondrial genes have disappeared completely; others have been transferred to our cells’ nuclei for safekeeping, away from the chemically harsh environment of the mitochondrion. This is akin ...

Isolating mitochondria from three cell types of the mouse cerebellum allowed researchers to look for differences in the organelles’ proteomes based on their cell type of origin. The experiments found ...

Ashley Rowland wrote a kids' book, "Chondrie", featuring a mitochondrion character who explains energy & how bodies may work ...

The mitochondrion isn't the bacterium it was in its prime, say two billion years ago. Since getting consumed by our common single-celled ancestor the 'energy powerhouse' organelle has lost most of its ...

Mitochondria are organelles found in the cytoplasm of most cells. They are essential to healthy living as they play an important role in the way cells function in the body. Mitochondria generate ...

Mitochondria are double membrane bound cytoplasmic organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for aerobic respiration, producing energy for the cell, which they achieve through ...

The Mitochondrion This small body within the living cell is the site of the chemical events that supply energy to the cell. The molecular architecture that underlies this function has recently been ...

At certain points along the respiratory chain some of the energy produced by oxidation-reduction is used to form the high-energy phosphate bond of ATP. The process that couples the esterification of ...
