Question

Give brief account for the use of antibodies 5 in localization of molecules or organelles in a cell.

Answer 1

The various techniques described earlier have led to an appreciation of the highly organized internal structure of eukaryotic cells, marked by the presence of many different organelles (Figures 5-42 and 5-43). Here we present a brief overview of the major organelles. Unique proteins in the interior and membranes of each type of organellelargely determine its specific functional characteristics. Later chapters will examine the key roles that different organelles and the cytosol play in the functioning of eukaryotic cells.
