Q
nucleus
A
stored DNA coiled round histones
drug target: interfere w/ transcription factors stops cells dividing

Q
cytoplasm
A
general metabolism. is a medium for signal transduction
4
Q
mitochondria
A
ATP generation
drug target: blocking oxidative phosphorylation
5
Q
endoplasmic reticulum
A
intracellular transport mechanisms
drug target: reducing cholesterol synthesis
6
Q
golgi
A
protein processing
7

ribosomes
A
protein synthesis
drug target: blocks the joining of the subunits
8
Q
cytoskeleton
A
keeps structure, inside cell movement, divide
