Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein import into the mitochondrial matrix is a complex process that requires energy from multiple sources: ATP hydrolysis by chaperone proteins both in the cytosol and in the mitochondrial matrix helps in unfolding and refolding the proteins, while the proton-motive force across the inner mitochondrial membrane drives the translocation of proteins into the matrix.
