This second edition offers 88 chapters divided among three volumes providing the most comprehensive source of know-how in the wide-ranging field of Mitochondrial Medicine. Volume II guides readers through chapters on mitochondrial dysfunction, functional' mitochondria, mitochondrial retrograde, mitochondrial dNTP pool quantification, mitochondrial ADP-ribosylation, blue-native gel approach, 3D optical cryo-imaging method, mitochondrial ATP and ROS production, protocol for untargeted metabolomic analysis, and methods for analysis of nitrotyrosine-containing proteins. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, application details for both the expert and non-expert reader, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and accessible, Mitochondrial Medicine, Second Edition, Volume 2: Assessing Mitochondria aims to be a comprehensive source of know-how in the wide-ranging field of Mitochondrial Medicine.
