Plastoquinone (PQ) is a terpenoid-quinone (meroterpenoid) molecule involved in the electron transport chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The most common form of plastoquinone, known as PQ-A or PQ-9, is a 2,3-dimethyl-1,4- benzoquinone molecule with a side chain of nine isoprenyl units.
Cytochrome c 1 transfers its electron to cytochrome c (not to be confused with cytochrome c1), and the B H Heme transfers its electron to a nearby ubiquinone, resulting in the formation of a ubisemiquinone. Cytochrome c diffuses. The first ubiquinol (now oxidised to ubiquinone) is released, whilst the semiquinone remains bound. Round 2:
The first reaction of Q cycle is the 2-electron oxidation of ubiquinol by two oxidants, c 1 (Fe 3+) and ubiquinone: CoQH 2 + cytochrome c 1 (Fe 3+) + CoQ' → CoQ + CoQ' −• + cytochrome c 1 (Fe 2+) + 2 H + (intermembrane) The second reaction of the cycle involves the 2-electron oxidation of a second ubiquinol by two oxidants, a fresh c 1 ...
Each gap junction (sometimes called a nexus) contains numerous gap junction channels that cross the plasma membranes of both cells. [11] With a lumen diameter of about 1.2 to 2.0 nm, [2] [12] the pore of a gap junction channel is wide enough to allow ions and even medium-size molecules like signaling molecules to flow from one cell to the next, [2] [13] thereby connecting the two cells' cytoplasm.
NAD + to NADH. FMN to FMNH 2. CoQ to CoQH 2.. Complex I is the first enzyme of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.There are three energy-transducing enzymes in the electron transport chain - NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), Coenzyme Q – cytochrome c reductase (complex III), and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV).

The first group of type I receptors (Alk1/2/3/6) bind and activate the R-Smads, Smad1/5/8. The second group of type I reactors (Alk4/5/7) act on the R-Smads, Smad2/3. The phosphorylated R-Smads then form complexes and the signals are funneled through two regulatory Smad (R-Smad) channels (Smad1/5/8 or Smad2/3).
that depends on the momentary difference between the membrane voltage V at time and the threshold . [55] The function F is often taken as a standard sigmoidal F ( x ) = 0.5 [ 1 + tanh ( γ x ) ] {\displaystyle F(x)=0.5[1+\tanh(\gamma x)]} with steepness parameter γ {\displaystyle \gamma } , [ 46 ] similar to the update dynamics in ...
Ca v 2.1, also called the P/Q voltage-dependent calcium channel, is a calcium channel found mainly in the brain. [5] Specifically, it is found on the presynaptic terminals of neurons in the brain and cerebellum. [5] Ca v 2.1 plays an important role in controlling the release of neurotransmitters between neurons. [5]
