It's difficult to visually follow proteins in the mitochondria when they are also located in the cytosol of the cell. To overcome this problem, Marine Hemmerle and her colleagues developed a tool called "Big Mito Split-GFP" so that a protein is only visible when it is inside mitochondria. Watch Marine's video to learn how it works!
