Opis

Includes information on the normal structure, function, and molecular biology of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, traditional diagnostical methodologies. This work features reviews of symptoms and signs associated with syndromes, as well as updates on the genetic defects of either the mitochondrial or the nuclear genome.

Recenzje

From the reviews of the first edition:

"There has been a great advance in the past 60 years in the understanding of mitochondrial genetics ... . The current volume opens with two chapters on the basic biochemistry and molecular biology of the human OXPHOS, which are followed by seven chapters on the clinical aspects of oxidative phosphorylation disorders including animal models. ... A very interesting read for all concerned with this subject from the researcher to the clinician." (P. B. Gahan, Cell Biochemistry and Function, Vol. 24 (2), 2006)
