| Material Notes | ubiquinone ring with a chain of 10 isoprene units; redox equilibrium with ubiqunol serving in mitochondrial inner membrane to transfer electrons; presence during reconstitution of acetylcholine receptor into phospholipid vesicles yields vesicles active in catalyzing carbamylcholine-sensitive na flux; coenzyme q10 depletion has been noted with use of statins. A group of related substances having n = 1-12; the main naturally occurring homologues have n = 6-10. Subscript number (Ubiquinone no.) indicates n. Occur in animal and microorganism mitochondria. Isol. from many sources. Participate in cellular electron transport. [CCD] Isol. from beef heart A component of Complex I in the mitochondia; bound ubisemiquinone is involved in the transfer of electrons from the reduced enzyme to the bound ubiquinone. A Ubisemiquinone is a free radical resulting from the removal of one hydrogen atom with its electron during the process of dehydrogenation of a hydroquinone to quinone or alternatively the addition of a single H atom to a quinone.
