Coenzyme Q10 molecule C014 / 2293
Coenzyme Q10, molecular model. This is the fully oxidised version of the molecule, known as ubiquinone. Coenzyme Q10 is involved in the electron transport chain that synthesises (ATP) adenosine triphosphate. It is therefore found in large quantities in mitochondria, the organelles that produce energy, in the form of ATP, for a cell. Coenzyme Q10 also acts as an antioxidant

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Coenzyme Q10 molecule, specifically the fully oxidised version known as ubiquinone. With a white background and rendered in stunning detail, this illustration provides a glimpse into the world of biology and biochemistry. Coenzyme Q10 plays a crucial role in the electron transport chain responsible for synthesising adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for cellular energy production. Consequently, it is abundantly present within mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells that generate ATP. Beyond its involvement in ATP production, Coenzyme Q10 also acts as an antioxidant. Its molecular composition enables it to neutralize harmful free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. This unique characteristic makes it an invaluable asset in maintaining overall cellular health. Displayed using a ball-and-stick model, this artwork highlights the fat-soluble nature of Coenzyme Q10 and its significance as an electron carrier during aerobic cellular respiration. Furthermore, its oil-soluble property allows for easy absorption by cell membranes. The redox state of Coenzyme Q10 determines its functionality within biological systems. As such, understanding its structure and properties contributes to advancements in drug development and biochemical research. This remarkable image by RAMON ANDRADE 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY serves as both educational material and aesthetic inspiration for those fascinated by molecular biology and biochemistry alike.
