Protein translocation across biological membranes is of fundamental importance for the biogenesis of organelles and in protein secretion. We will give an overview of the recent achievements in the understanding of protein translocation across mitochondrial membranes (1‐5) . In particular we will focus on recently identified components of the mitochondrial import apparatus.
