Oroboros 1997

Mitochondria and Cell Research - the Oroboros Ecosystem
DatLab 2.1 was released (in cooperation with Dr. Michael Reck), including the 'Macros' for analysis of the time constant and p50 analysis for oxygen kinetics of mitochondrial and cellular respiration.

3. Course on Metabolic Control Analysis.


Visiting professor: Mazat Jean-Pierre (Univ. Bordeaux II and IBCN-CNRS, FR)
  • Metabolic control analysis (MCA): an intuitive view and a simple example.
  • Experimental determination of control coefficients: oxidative phosphorylation as an example.
  • Linear (matrix) algebra used in MCA.
  • General theory of metabolic control analysis.
  • Application of MCA to mitochondrial diseases: the threshold effect.
