Background to the Research
With the background and expertise of the division of Biochemistry in inherited metabolic diseases and metabolism, the research topics of the group are structured around the involvement of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system in human diseases. Defects in the mitochondrial energy metabolism is not only the largest group of…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/mitochondrial-laboratory/research-objectives-and-technologies-used
Research Objectives and Technologies Used
The MRL is set up to investigate various aspects of mitochondrial function and disease from different approaches and is therefore a truly multidisciplinary research group. The laboratory is a very well-equipped with specialised apparatus for the following: Mitochondrial function: Mitochondrial…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/mitochondrial-laboratory/current-research-activities-and-developments
Current Research Activities and Developments
The current projects of the MRL fall into three groups: Mitochondrial disorders in the SA population: molecular genetics and metabolomics Cohort investigations with national and international researchers and clinicians Adaptive responses in…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/mitochondrial-laboratory/publications

Background to the Research
Within the group, we have two main focus areas namely the characterisation of the glycine conjugation pathway as well as the development of molecular diagnostic tests for application in animal breeding. a) Genetic and enzymatic characterisation of the glycine conjugation pathway – a phase II detoxification pathway. Benzoate (…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/molecular-biology/research-group
History to the Group
The Molecular Biology group is one of the specialised research groups within the Focus Area for Human Metabolomics. Molecular biology is the branch of biology that seeks to understand the molecular basis of biological activity in and between cells, including biomolecular synthesis, modification, mechanisms, and interactions. The following…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/human-and-animal-genetics/pastformer-members
