Introduction to mitochondria biology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Mitochondria are intracellular organelles that evolved from an ancient endosymbiotic a-purple bacteria ingested by an eukaryotic ancestor approximately 1.5 billion years ago (Gray 2001). As a consequence of their origin, mitochondria have a doublemembrane structure, composed by an outer membrane, highly permeable with many pores surrounding the inter-membrane space and an impermeable inner membrane, delimiting the internal matrix (Frey and Mannella 2000) (Fig. 1).
