In electron transfer, only the quinone portion of Coenzyme Q (ubiquinone, UQ) undergoes oxidation-reduction; the extremely long isoprenoid side chain remains unchanged. What is the function of this chain?
Homework Answers
Coenzyme Q is also called ubiquinone. It is a quinone with isoprenoid side chian. The isoprenoid side chain of coenzyme Q determines the type of coenzyme.
For example, Coenzyme Q8 has eight units of isoprene.
Similarly, CoQ10 has ten units of isoprene.
In electron transfer process only the quinone portion of the coenzyme Q undergoes oxidation-reduction, the extremely long isoprenoid chain remains unchanged.
The functions of the isoprenoid chain are :
(1) The most important role of isoprenoid chain is to stabilize the molecule in the middle of the membrane bilayer.
(2) Other benefits include that the long isoprenoid side chain makes ubiquinone very soluble in lipids and allows it to diffuse in the semifluid membrane.
