Researchers Unveil Near-complete Protein Catalog For Mitochondria

Researchers have created the most comprehensive "parts list" to date for mitochondria, a compendium that includes nearly 1,100 proteins. By mining this critical resource, the researchers have already gained deep insights into the biological roles and evolutionary histories of several key proteins. This careful cataloging has already identified a mutation in a novel protein-coding gene as the cause behind one devastating mitochondrial disease.
