Scientists map mitochondrial proteins across six organisms

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 mitochondria in six organisms — five single-celled parasites and one plant — spanning the eukaryotic tree of life. The findings, reported by Nature, offer the broadest comparative picture yet of how these cellular power plants are built, revealing both shared machinery and surprising differences across distant branches of life. Researchers say the work could aid studies of parasitic diseases and the evolution of complex cells.

Why now: New research published in Nature is drawing attention for its unusually broad comparison of mitochondrial protein make-up across evolution.
