MitoMAMMAL: a genome scale model of mammalian mitochondria predicts cardiac and BAT metabolism.

Motivation: Mitochondria are essential for cellular metabolism and are inherently flexible to allow correct function in a wide range of tissues. Consequently, dysregulated mitochondrial metabolism affects different tissues in different ways leading to challenges in understanding the pathology of mitochondrial diseases. System-level metabolic modelling is useful in studying tissue-specific mitochondrial metabolism, yet despite the mouse being a common model organism in research, no mouse specific mitochondrial metabolic model is currently available.
