CoQ is the naturally occurring quinone in the mitochondrial [[ETS]]. It is a lipid composed of a benzoquinone ring with an isoprenoid side chain, two methoxy groups and one methyl group (Wolf et al 1958). is a class of ''oxidized'' organic compounds with a fully conjugated cyclic dione structure derived from aromatic compounds.
