Reference	Takamori S et al., Molecular anatomy of a trafficking organelle. Cell. 2006 Nov 17 127(4):831-46. DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2006.10.030 p.837 left column and p.839 table 2PubMed ID17110340
Method	P.836 right column bottom paragraph: "To construct a molecular model of a prototypic SV, [investigators] first calculated the average copy number per vesicle of the proteins quantified above (see Figure 1) based on the known molecular mass, Avogadro's number, and the average protein content per vesicle (Table 2, see also Table S2)."
