After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...

Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the ... molecular zip codes that specify their final destination. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are also surrounded by membranes ...

The respiratory supercomplexes pump protons across the mitochondrial membrane. The ATP production complexes, which act similarly to a watermill, use this flow of protons to drive ATP generation." ...

Learn how this organelle is not just a passively floating ovoid structure ... physical merging of the outer and then the inner mitochondrial membranes of two originally distinct mitochondria.

Electron tomography reveals the three-dimensional structure of membrane contact sites (colored red) between ER tubules (green) and mitochondria (purple) in a yeast cell (right) or an endosome ...

“Our structure reveals many new ways to change ... In a healthy person, when mitochondria are damaged, PINK1 gathers on mitochondrial membranes and signals through a small protein called ...

2 The team fused DAAO to either a nucleosome protein or a mitochondrial membrane protein to study the effects of hydrogen peroxide produced at these specific locations. The team hypothesized that ...

Proper organisation and folding of mitochondrial membranes are vital for organelle function. Our lab studies the structure and function of mitochondrial membrane-shaping protein complexes in human ...

"Our data show that the respiratory proteins organize in specific membrane regions of mitochondria, stick together and form one main type of supercomplex," explains Florent Waltz, SNSF Ambizione ...
