Identification of the pathway of Rhodoquinone biosynthesis in <i>C.elegans</i>

2019-05-04

Abstract excerpt

Parasitic helminths infect over a billion humans. To survive in the low oxygen environment of their hosts, these parasites use unusual anaerobic metabolism. This requires Rhodoquinone (RQ), an electron carrier that is made by very few animal species — crucially it is not present in any parasitic hosts. RQ synthesis is thus an ideal target for anthelmintics but little is known about how RQ is made and no drugs are...
