Ubiquinone Q8 - Introduction
Coenzyme Q8(E. coli) is an enzyme cofactor, also known as Coenzyme Q8 or simply coq8. It is found in E. coli. The following is an introduction to some properties, uses, methods and safety information about Coenzyme Q8:
Nature:
- Coenzyme Q8 is a fat-soluble compound that belongs to the Coenzyme Q family.
-It is similar to other coenzyme Q molecules in chemical structure, consisting of a Conjugated chromophore (chromone ring) and a long tetracyclic hydroxyl chain.
- Coenzyme Q8 acts as a carrier for electron transfer in the cytochrome oxidase complex.
Use:
The main function of-Coenzyme Q8 in organisms is to participate in the electron transfer chain, as an important part of the respiratory chain.
-It can receive and transfer electrons, and participate in the process of cell respiration and energy production.
- Coenzyme Q8 also has an antioxidant effect, which can help reduce the production of free radicals and damage to cells.
Method:
- Coenzyme Q8 can be produced by microbial fermentation, and microorganisms such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) or yeast are usually used as production hosts.
-Through specific fermentation processes and culture conditions, these microorganisms can synthesize and accumulate Coenzyme Q8.
Safety Information:
- Coenzyme Q8 is widely regarded as a low-toxicity, low-risk compound, and generally does not cause obvious harm to the human body and the environment.
-However, in case of contact with Coenzyme Q8 powder or solution, care should be taken to avoid inhalation or contact with skin and eyes.
-In laboratory or industrial production, Coenzyme Q8 should be handled and used correctly according to Safe operating procedures.
