WHAT DOES PLASTOQUINONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Plastoquinone

Plastoquinone (PQ) is a quinone molecule involved in the electron transport chain in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Plastoquinone is reduced (accepts two protons (H+) from the stromal matrix of the chloroplast, coupled to two electrons (e-) from photosystem II), forming plastoquinol. It transports the protons to the lumen of thylakoid discs, while the electrons continue through the electron transport chain into the cytochrome b6f protein complex. The prefix plasto- means either plastid or chloroplast, alluding to its location within the cell. Structurally it is a 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone molecule with a side chain of nine isoprenyl units.

Definition of plastoquinone in the English dictionary

The definition of plastoquinone in the dictionary is any compound having a quinone nucleus with a terpenoid side chain.
