Abstract

Background: Mitochondrial carriers were thought to be dimeric based on their migration in blue native gels.  Results: The high molecular mass species observed in blue native gels are composed of protein monomers, detergent, lipid, and Coomassie stain.  Conclusion: The mitochondrial carriers are monomeric not dimeric.  Significance: The apparent mass of small membrane proteins in blue native gels requires significant correction.
