Riassunto

This title employs biochemical, cell biological, and genetic approaches to study mitochondrial structure, function, and biogenesis. Also of interest are the consequences of impaired mitochondrial function on cells, tissues, and organs.

The book is full of step-by-step "how to" methods with sample results, interpretations, and pitfalls. There is a unique set of appendices that include gene catalogs, mtDNA maps, and reagents for probing respiratory chain function. Finally, there are applications of state-of-the art microarray and gene chip technologies.

• Isolation of mitochondria from commonly used cells and tissues
• Assays for mitochondrial activities, including respiration, ATP production, permeability, protein import, and interactions with the cytoskeleton
• Biochemical and optical methods for studying protein-protein interactions in mitochondria
• Approaches to studying mitochondrial replication, transcription, and translation
• Transmitochondrial technologies
• Methods in microassay data analysis

Recensione:

"This is an extremely high quality offering that is really unique...It should serve as an invaluable reference for a wide audience of biomedical researchers." --DOODY'S PUBLISHING REVIEWS

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Are you interested in the relationship between mitochondria and your pet protein? Do you have a protein that you think is targeted to mitochondria? Are you working on a disease that causes or is influenced by respiratory chain dysfunction? Are you interested in the role that mitochondria play in cell death? Have you ever wondered what mitochondrial look like or how they move and divide? Approaches to addressing these and other questions are found in Mitochondria. This is the first Methods in Cell Biology volume to be published on the topic in over a decade, an interval that has witnessed phenomenal advances in the field.
