Dr. Susan Perlman appeared on American Health Journal Nov 7to discuss Friedreich’s Ataxia

Dr. Susan Perlman appeared on American Health Journal Nov 7 to discuss Friedreich’s Ataxia.  (the section about Friedreich’s Ataxia starts at 15:39)

Dr. Susan Perlman appeared on American Health Journal this Friday to discuss Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA) along with one of her patients, Stephanie Magness. They educated viewers on the clinical aspects of the disease as well as daily life and clinical studies.

Fe-S cluster biogenesis in isolated mammalian mitochondria: coordinated use of persulfide sulfur and iron, and requirements for GTP, NADH, and ATP

Fe-S cluster biogenesis in isolated mammalian mitochondria: coordinated use of persulfide sulfur and iron, and requirements for GTP, NADH, and ATP . Alok Pandey, Jayashree Pain, Arnab K. Ghosh, Andrew Dancis and Debkumar Pain; J. Biol. Chem. jbc.M114.610402. First Published on November 14, 2014, doi:10.1074/jbc.M114.610402

The experimental system as described here may help to define the biochemical basis of diseases that are associated with impaired Fe-S cluster biogenesis in mitochondria such as Friedreich's ataxia.
