Abstract: Microcalorimetry was first applied to investigating sub-cell organ.The metabolism of mitochondria and sub-mitochondria, and the effect of laccase on sub-mito-chondria were studied by microcalorimetry.Their metabolism thermokinetic parameters were obtained by the MTDequation and evolutionary optimization.It is found that the metabolism rate constant and the heat of mitochondria are almost the same as that of sub-mitochondria, and laccase may enormously speed the metabolism of mitochondria although the metabolism heat of sub-mitochondria-laccase system is almost the same as sub-mitochondria.

Key words: Mitochondria, Laccase, Microcalorimetry, Evolutionary computation
