Description
A submitochondrial particle is a compartmentalized membranous product of the mitochondria by treatment of mitochondria with membrane-dispersing agents such as digitonin at high concentration or by sonic irradiation.
Abbreviation: Smp
Reference: Droese 2009 Biochim Biophys Acta
The submitochondrial particles consist of membrane fragments which evidently retained most of the enzymatic machinery required in electron transfer and oxidative phosphorylation. Such membrane fragments are continuous closed vesicles formed by resealing of the edges of the membrane fragments after disruption of mitochondrial structure.
