The mitochondrial proteome is highly complex, comprising ~1,000–1,500 proteins in mammals. Recent technological advances are now helping to refine the mitochondrial proteome and are assisting in characterizing mitochondrial protein functions, paving the way for better diagnosis and treatment of mitochondrial diseases.
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless molecular assemblies formed via liquid–liquid phase separation. They have a plethora of roles, ranging from controlling biochemical reactions to regulating cell organization and cell function. This article provides a framework for the study of condensate functions across these cellular length scales, offering to bring new understanding of biological processes.
