Quinone
Description
Quinone is a class of oxidized organic compounds with a fully conjugated cyclic dione structure derived from aromatic compounds. Ubiquinone or coenzmye Q is the naturally occurring quinone in the mitochondrial ETS, while in the photosynthetic system plastoquinones are common. The quinone is reduced either to an unstable semiquinone by one hydrogen atom or to a quinol by two electrons and two protons.
