Popis: 'Heavy' mitochondrial preparations of bean, cauliflower, and rat liver have been found to give unimodal distribution for electrophoretic mobility against number of particles. The pH-mean mobility curves were similar in form and consistent with the mitochondrial surfaces being lipoproteins. de Duve (1959) separated 'heavy' and 'light' (lysosome-rich) mitochondrial fractions from rat liver. Microelectrophoretic studies on similar 'heavy' and 'light' mitochondrial preparations from rat liver have shown the latter to consist mostly of mitochondria with some faster-moving particles tentatively identified with de Duve's lysosomes. 'Light' mitochondrial preparations of bean showed no evidence of particles additional to mitochondria.
