Scientists map mitochondrial proteins across six species in detail
Original: 'Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the proteins that make up the mitochondria in six organisms — five singl
Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the proteins that make up the mitochondria in six organisms — five single-celled parasites and one plant — spanning the eukaryotic tree of life. The comparative study offers the broadest picture yet of how these essential cellular powerhouses are built across distantly related species, with potential relevance for understanding parasite biology. Researchers and science commentators are sharing the findings as a notable advance in molecular and evolutionary biology.
Why now: The newly published comparative protein mapping of mitochondria is a significant biology result being widely shared.
