One way to understand and evaluate the role of mitochondria in human embryonic stem cells (hESC) function and developmental potential is to directly measure the activity of mitochondrial respiratory complexes. Here, the video describes high resolution clear native gel electrophoresis and subsequent in gel activity visualization as a method for analyzing the five respiratory chain complexes of hESCs.
