Description Plastoquinone is a member of the class of compounds known as prenylquinones. Prenylquinones are quinones with a structure characterized by the quinone ring substituted by an prenyl side-chain. Plastoquinone is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Plastoquinone can be found in barley, which makes plastoquinone a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Plastoquinone (PQ) is an isoprenoid quinone molecule involved in the electron transport chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The most common form of plastoquinone, known as PQ-A or PQ-9, is a 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone molecule with a side chain of nine isoprenyl units. There are other forms of plastoquinone, such as ones with shorter side chains like PQ-3 (which has 3 isoprenyl side units instead of 9) as well as analogs such as PQ-B, PQ-C, and PQ-D, which differ in their side chains. The benzoquinone and isoprenyl units are both nonpolar, anchoring the molecule within the inner section of a lipid bilayer, where the hydrophobic tails are usually found .
