Fatty acids on the other hand, enter the mitochondria as is. ATP is produced through the course of three linked steps. First, using enzymes present in the matrix, pyruvate and fatty acids are ...

A newly discovered mechanism that leads to liver dysfunction may be a key factor in type 2 diabetes and other metabolic ...

Matrix: The space which is present in the inner membrane is known as the matrix. It contains various enzymes, which are important in the production of ATP. Here, mitochondrial DNA is housed.

There are two different types of CARS enzymes: one is present in the cytoplasm of the cells and the other within mitochondria. The researchers inactivated genes that produce the enzyme variants in ...

Fumarate hydratase is distributed in both the cytosol and the mitochondrial matrix compartment, except in the brain, where the enzyme is only present in mitochondria. The mitochondrial enzyme ...

Mitochondrial diseases are chronic, meaning that once manifested, they are present for the rest of your life. In addition to being chronic, mitochondrial diseases are also usually passed from ...

When the researchers blocked the responsible RNA modifying enzyme in cancer cells ... they use the so-called respiratory chain present in the mitochondrial membrane. Because mitochondria contain ...

Mitochondrial diseases affect approximately ... activator-like effector nucleases (mpTALENs)—specialized enzymes that can selectively target and cleave specific DNA sequences.

Here, Tsai and his colleagues focused on the unfoldase that is present in humans and whose ... massive protein aggregation in cells where the enzyme function is crucial for maintaining the structure ...

Present in nearly all types of human cells, mitochondria are vital to survival ... The Krebs cycle produces a chemical called NADH. Enzymes in the cristae use NADH to produce ATP.
