Protein Transport (Mitochondria)

NDSU Virtual Cell Animations Project animation 'Protein Transport (Mitochondrial)'. For more information please see http://vcell.ndsu.edu/animations

Once translated, proteins are dispersed throughout the cellular environment. This section covers the transport of a protein into a specific organelle--the mitochondria.

what about TOM, TIM23/22, SAM, OXA... etc. not very detailed...

[Spikey265]

ATP (a triphosphate) contains high phosphate bonds, when broken, release energy that can be used for biosynthetic or anabolic pathways. (endergonic, energy using processes ...like muscle contractions, glycolysis)

this was nice but i request u to add the role of tom, tim23/22 , sam ,oxa ,hsp in grearter detail... ignore the people who just add the comments for the sake.. you are awesome in explaining...

[craksandwitches]

she starts out talking about mRNA , like we know wtf that is , i think ppl here are trying to learn , and all we keep getting is bombarded with this textbook asscrap instead of real information , wtf , i just want a real documentary to help me learn about mitochondria that doesnt sound all monotone or put me to sleep or try to hard to be cool , thats all . what do you have to get nick bloomfeild up in here or what ,we need heather donahue up in here i mean please

How come I get into religious arguments when watching a video about the mitochondira? What the hell do you care about what other people believe? None of your business. You not christians leave the christians alone and let them believe whatever they want. You christians just leave the non believers alone and do not force them to believe what you do. Tell me why is it so fucking hard to do so?!

there's even mistakes in there: Chaperonin is the wrong term, since chaperonins are only hsp60 chaperones... and hsp60 chaperones are not associated with mitochondrial transport. The right term is chaperone, since mainly hsp70 chaperones are involved in this process.

@TheEtceterist

The leap of faith you mention assumes quite an illogical backward motion, given the forward >> (and ultimately positive) moving motion of evolution...and jumping! From simplicity (1+1) comes complexity. Science may consider itself to be advanced, but the more we learn the more we have to learn! We've got, let's say a 10,000x zoom on these things. What will we learn when we have the ability to zoom in 1,000,000x?

What moves the cells, I ask? At a quantum, fundamental level..

@taboosun You know it never fails.

Damn there is even the God debate here. Nice : )

While I do not belive in god, I can clearly see, why some see this as "proof" of some sort of creator.

I am studying chemistry, and this really must be like a high-rise building in the desert, and some scientist standing next to it saying " I can't fully explain why this happened, but believe it or not, this thing built itself, no designer was involved"

Increadibly complex as it may be, I think that one day we will be able to explain this.

You're just making it easy by saying it was god.

Hi. I saw the commentary & found this conversation really interesting. I'm not replying to hate on you or tell anyone he/she is wrong. But I do believe in God and that He sent Jesus to save us after we chose to turn away because of free will. I guess all I want to say is, give God a chance. I know He loves you and delights in your curiosity. Nothing here is perfect but Him, that's why we can have hope :) He will never fail us; it's our own ideas of what "should" happen that we think he fails us
