Coenzyme Q | Biosynthesis, Function, & Clinical Implications

The video explains the function and biosynthesis of Coenzyme Q, a crucial component in the electron transport chain. It details the biosynthetic pathway, highlighting key enzymes and reactions, and discusses the divergence of pathways leading to cholesterol and Coenzyme Q. The video also covers the electron transfer mechanism involving Coenzyme Q and its role in cellular respiration. Finally, it addresses the clinical implications of statin use, which can inhibit Coenzyme Q synthesis, potentially affecting heart health.
