Solution Summary

The solution discusses how to isolate peroxisomes from cells.

Solution Preview

Isolation of organelles such as peroxisomes can be done via differential and density gradient centrifugation. The basic idea in these methods is that various components of the cell will partition differently according to their unique densities. As you centrifuge the ...
