The electrochemistry of ubiquinone-10 in a phospholipid model membrane
The electrochemistry of ubiquinone-10, UQ, incorporated over a phospholipid layer adsorbed on a mercury drop electrode has been investigated over a wide pH range. It is shown that the position of the quinone headgroup in relation to the lipid determines the reversibility of the redox chemistry. For...

| description |
The electrochemistry of ubiquinone-10, UQ, incorporated over a phospholipid layer adsorbed on a mercury drop electrode has been investigated over a wide pH range. It is shown that the position of the quinone headgroup in relation to the lipid determines the reversibility of the redox chemistry. For pH < 7, the reaction follows a disproportionation route involving the ubiquinone radical. There is evidence for the presence of a parallel reaction sequence. The bifurcation point appears to occur for the UQ molecule, which disproportionates after protonation and reduction, in parallel with direct electron transfer to yield the UQ:- radical anion. The incorporation of UQ in a lipid monolayer makes its reduction very irreversible for pH > 7. |
