The breakdown into simpler components of organic and inorganic nitrogenous compounds.

A heterodimer consisting of a large subunit, responsible for the catalytic activities, and a small accessory subunit. Functions in the replication and repair of mitochondrial DNA.

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ATP to unwind the DNA helix at the replication fork, allowing the resulting single strands to be copied.

The process, occurring above the cellular level, that is pertinent to the reproductive function of an organism. This includes the integrated processes at the level of tissues and organs.

The formation from simpler components of organic and inorganic nitrogenous compounds.

A ribosome found in the mitochondrion of a eukaryotic cell; contains a characteristic set of proteins distinct from those of cytosolic ribosomes.

The formation from simpler components of compounds that contain sulfur, such as the amino acids methionine and cysteine or the tripeptide glutathione.

The larger of the two subunits of a mitochondrial ribosome. Two sites on the ribosomal large subunit are involved in translation: the aminoacyl site (A site) and peptidyl site (P site).

The breakdown into simpler components of compounds that contain sulfur, such as the amino acids methionine and cysteine or the tripeptide glutathione.

The smaller of the two subunits of a mitochondrial ribosome.

The transformation of simpler substances into more complex ones in multicellular organisms, occurring at the tissue, organ, or organismal level.

Any of a group of related cytoplasmic, membrane bound organelles that are found in most animal cells and that contain a variety of hydrolases, most of which have their maximal activities in the pH range 5-6. The contained enzymes display latency if properly isolated. About 40 different lysosomal hydrolases are known and lysosomes have a great variety of morphologies and functions.

The breakdown into simpler components of carbohydrates, any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y, as carried out by individual cells.
