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.
