| |description='''Ubiquinone''' or [[coenzyme Q]] (2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-polyprenyl-1,4-benzoquinone) was discovered in 1957 by the group of Crane. It is a lipid composed of a benzoquinone ring with an isoprenoid side chain, two methoxy groups and one methyl group. CoQ is the naturally occurring quinone in the mitochondrial [[ETS]] with ten isoprenoid units. These redox compounds exist in three different forms: [[quinone]] (oxidized), [[quinol]] (reduced), and an intermediate [[semiquinone]].
