The experimental data on mitochondrial calcium uptake in nmol/mg protein/minute were converted to μmol/Lmito/s using a factor Φmito=160mins1032.6mgLmito=6.41, or to μmol/Lfiber/s using a factor Φfiber=160mins1032.6mgLmito0.05LmitoLfiber=0.32, since a ratio 1:20 links the two volume references, under the assumption that, in murine fast fibers, mitochondria volume is 5% of fiber volume (see Butera et al., 2021) and 1 mg protein corresponds to 2.6 μl of mitochondria (Schwerzmann et al., 1989). *, intact axon preparation.
