摘要: The location of coenzyme Q10 (Q10) inside the inner mitochondrial membrane is a topic research aiming at deeper understanding function respiratory chain. We investigated Q10 model membranes made 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine by means small-angle synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Q10, which stands for ubiquinone-10 (UQ) or ubihydroquinone-10 (UH), did not remarkably influence main phase transition temperature, but significantly decreased lamellar-inverse hexagonal temperature (T h). effect UH on T h was stronger than UQ and liquid crystalline Q10. In presence lattice parameters lamellar phases remained unchanged, whereas H II lattice parameter clearly influenced: While had an increasing effect, decreasing effect. Furthermore, prevented formation cubic phases. results give new evidence that headgroup distant from center membrane, might be important
