Abstract Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10), a benzoquinone present in most organisms, plays an
important role in the electron-transport chain, and its deficiency is associated with various …

CoQ (coenzyme Q), an isoprenylated benzoquinone, is a well‐known component of the
electron‐transfer system in eukaryotes. The main role of CoQ is to transfer electrons from …

Coenzyme Q or ubiquinone (UQ) is a naturally occurring coenzyme formed from the
conjugation of a benzoquinone ring and an isoprenoid chain of varying length. UQ-10, the …

Prenylquinones are isoprenoid compounds with a characteristic quinone structure and
isoprenyl tail that are ubiquitous in almost all living organisms. There are four major …

Abstract Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is extensively used in the fields of medicine, cosmetics,
food, and health care due to its function as an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis …

The number of available protein sequences has increased exponentially with the advent of
high-throughput genomic sequencing, creating a significant challenge for functional …

In this work, Escherichia coli was engineered to produce a medically valuable cofactor,
coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), by removing the endogenous octaprenyl diphosphate synthase …

Abstract Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is the main CoQ species in human and is used
extensively in food, cosmetic and medicine industries because of its antioxidant properties …

Escherichia coli has many advantages as a microbial platform for industrial applications.
