Plastoquinone
Photosynthetic Electron Carrier
Plastoquinone (PQ-9) functions as a photosynthetic electron carrier, playing a vital role in the electron transport chain by transferring electrons to the cytochrome b6/f complex through the Q cycle. It contributes to the formation of the thylakoid transmembrane pH gradient and acts as a redox sensor, influencing state transitions and gene expression in photosynthetic organisms. Plastoquinone is employed in studies of plant photosynthesis and redox biology, making it an essential reagent for exploring the mechanisms of energy conversion in plants.
