Question

What will happen if you remove outer mitochondrial membrane?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Removal of the outer mitochondrial membrane with digitonin resulted in the loss of 99.5 ± 0.2% of the mitochondrial phosphocreatine, suggesting that the accumulated phosphocreatine is in the intermembrane space. Anion flux through the outer mitochondrial membrane and through isolated VDAC channels can be regulated.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The outer membrane is the gateway to the mitochondrion, just like the cell membrane is for the cell. It has porins to allow smaller proteins in and protein complexes to allow bigger proteins in. It works in concert with the inner membrane to allow these proteins into the matrix
