Why these compounds are studied together

MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide encoded in the 12S rRNA region, studied for AMPK signalling.
SS-31 (elamipretide) is a cardiolipin-targeting tetrapeptide studied in inner-membrane and electron-transport models.
NAD+ is the central redox cofactor; supplying it alongside both peptides lets cofactor availability be controlled in the same assay.

Bench handling notes

NAD+ is light- and pH-sensitive in solution: prepare fresh and keep on ice.
Protect fluorescent mitochondrial dyes and peptide stocks from light during imaging runs.

Laboratory handling only. See the research blog for storage, reconstitution and COA guides.
