What are coupling-control states?
They are defined as LEAK respiration, OXPHOS and ET states, with corresponding respiration rates (L, P, and E respectively), in the various mitochondrial preparations.
- »Coupling-control state«

There is no current cure for mitochondrial diseases
Most treatments and medication focus on alleviating the symptoms associated with the disease and slowing the course of the disease.

The oxygen concentration is unusually high or low when starting a new measurement?
When starting a new measurement, the oxygen concentration is calculated by DatLab based on the default values or the most recently applied air calibration. If the temperature, barometric pressure, or solubility factor differ between the actual measurement and the default settings or the most recently performed and applied air calibration, the calculated oxygen concentration can be very different from the actual oxygen concentration.

"The coupling sites are the respiratory Complexes CI, CIII, and CIV which pump protons towards the intermembrane space ... Pathways with a lower number of coupling sites are less likely to saturate the phosphorylation system capacity at identical rates of O2 consumption."

"Understanding the degree by which a specific cancer type utilizes mitochondria for processes such as macromolecule synthesis and energy transfer is required to ultimately determine targetability and therapeutic potential."

In focus
Stay alert
Oroboros of the month
|
- In the artwork "First Fruits of the Earth Offered to Saturn" at the Palazzo Vecchio, Saturn (Cronus in Greek mythology) is holding the Ouroboros in the hand, symbolizing the eternal cycle of renewal and the interconnectedness of beginning and end.
