plastoquinoniin
Plastoquinone is a group of lipophilic molecules found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in higher plants and cyanobacteria. These molecules are components of the electron transport chain, playing a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis.
Plastoquinones are typically composed of a polyprenyl side chain and a quinone head group. The most common
During photosynthesis, plastoquinone acts as a mobile electron carrier in the electron transport chain of photosystem
In addition to their role in photosynthesis, plastoquinones are essential for maintaining the integrity and fluidity
Plastoquinones have also been used as a basis for various pharmaceutical applications. For instance, ubiquinone, a
