Assessment comment
Substituted at 00:13, 30 April 2016 (UTC) I am planning on editing this wiki page by expanding and adding to what is currently available.

Introduction

 * Expanding on the definition of the mitochondrial matrix, along with setting up information for the new sections to be added. I also intend to develop this into several sections in order to answer the fundal   questions. What is the mitochondrial matrix? Where is the mitochondrial matrix? How does the structure and location facilitate reactions? Why do specified reactions occur in the mitochondrial matrix?

Composition

 * Including the various structures present in the matrix (what makes up the matrix) and functions pertaining to the matrix along with links to their respective pages.
 * Also include information on the composition importance in facilitating reactions.

Facilitated reactions

 * Further specify why the matrix is ideal for these reaction to occur and how the matrix is able to facilitate this reactions based on its composition, structures, and mechanisms.
 * TCA/Urea cycle/oxidation of fatty acids/oxidation of pyruvate

Mechanisms

 * Add Specific mechanisms involving the mitochondrial matrix in facilitating reactions
 * Electron transport chain

Shouldn't 'the space' be 'the material in the space'?
Shouldn't "...the matrix is the space within the inner membrane." be worded instead as, 'the matrix is the material in the space within the inner membrane.'? 'Space' is generally not thought of as viscous, but material or substance can be. On the other hand, I do find semi-conflicting definitions of the 'matrix', for instance "the substance occupying the space enclosed by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion", vs " The inner mitochondrial compartment,", as well as specifically "The space enclosed by the inner membrane is called the matrix in mitochondria ...".
