6. Conclusions
With the development of laser excitation and detection systems, it has become possible to consider analyses that have otherwise been beyond the capacity of experimentalists. In this investigation, a case is made for the development of a device to analyse ATP synthase activity in-vivo. Such analyses ultimately have applications in clinical practice, particularly in the field of mitochondrial disorders, of both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA origin.
