The power stations of the cell of Humans. Mitochidria – Molecular machines for efficient energy production
Mitochondria are the power stations in our cells. They produce the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the University of Basel have now gained insights into the architecture of mitochondria with unprecedented resolution. They discovered that the proteins responsible for energy production assemble into large ‘supercomplexes’. These supply the cell with…
