Is there any particular method to assess mitochondrial complex-III activity? What about MTT assay?

28 June 2020 0 3K Report

I would like to ask about a specific method for the determination of mitochondrial complex-III activity. There are reports of MTT assay as an indirect method for finding out mitochondrial complex-III activity. How can both be equated? Ain't MTT assay is for cell viability. Can it be performed in intact mitochondria? Please answer.
