Quinones are redox-active molecules playing important roles in all organisms. In humans, the para-benzoquinone derivative Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) carrying a chain of 10 isoprene units and two neighbouring methoxy groups at the benzoquinone ring is found ubiquitously. It is an essential electron and proton transporter in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and fulfils various important functions like regulating redox homeostasis and membrane viscosity. In 2011, Bogeski et al. chemically modified the functional head group of CoQ10 exchanging one methoxy group by a hydroxy group. The hydroxy analogue can also be produced by CYP450 present in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum and is a postulated intermediate in CoQ biosynthesis that had not b...
