Complexome profile of mitochondrial complexes in the myzozoan parasite of oysters, Perkinsus marinus
Mitochondrial complexes, such as the mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC), the F1Fo-ATP synthase and the mitochondrial ribosome, are centrally important for mitochondrial function. Recently, ...
