Cell fractionation based on density gradient



Cell fractionation based on density gradient

A general notes on techniques of cell fractionation. In the study of cell organelles, different fractions of the subcellular particles are routinely separated with a centrifuge. It was by this type of isolation technique that mitochondria were discovered to be responsible for the entire tricarboxylic acid cycle and ribosomes accountable for protein biosynthesis. (Dr.Nam Sun Wang, University of Maryland)
