The structural basis for the assembly and organization of a magnetotactic bacterial organelle

大多数细胞通过称为细胞器的多个内部隔间来组织自己，在那里，一系列专门的过程可以独立于细胞的其他部分发生。在某些情况下，细胞器保护微妙的过程不受其他细胞因素的干扰，而在另一些情况下，细胞器保护细胞免受潜在有害副产物的影响。了解细胞区隔的过程对于了解细胞的功能是至关重要的。

Most cells organize themselves with multiple internal compartments, called organelles, where a range of specialized processes can occur in isolation from the rest of the cell. In some cases organelles protect delicate processes from interference by other cellular factors, and in others cases organelles protect the cell from potentially harmful byproducts. Understanding the processes of cellular compartmentalization is fundamentally important to understanding how cells function.
