Abstract excerpt
While diagnosis and genetic analysis of mitochondrial disorders has made remarkable progress, we still do not understand how given molecular defects are correlated to specific patterns of symptoms and their severity. Towards resolving this dilemma for the largest and therefore most affected respiratory chain enzyme, we have established the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica as a eucaryotic model system to analyse...
