Cooenzyme Q<sub>10</sub> (CoQ<sub>10</sub>) is a component of the electron transport chain and participates in aerobic cellular respiration, generating energy in the form of ATP. CoQ<sub>1</sub> is an amphipathic CoQ<sub>10</sub> homolog that has a tail consisting of five isoprene units. It has been used as an electron acceptor to study a range of oxidoreductases as isolated enzymes, in subcellular fractions, in intact cells in culture, and in perfused organs. Ubiquinone analogs, including CoQ<sub>1</sub>, impact mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) formation, as well as PTP-dependent cell death, in an analog- and cell-specific manner.
