Abstract excerpt

Ubiquinone, known as a component of the electron transfer system in many organisms, has a different length of the isoprenoid side chain depending on the species, e.g., Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans have 8, 6, and 10 isoprene units in the side chain, respectively. No direct evidence has yet shown what factors define the length of the side chain of ubiquinone. Here we proved that the...
