Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ubiquinone, a quinone derivative with a tail of isoprene units. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with pyrroloquinoline quinone, PQQ, the coenzyme or the prosthetic group of certain alcohol dehydrogenases and glucose dehydrogenases. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a cofactor, a substance that is required for the activity of an enzyme or other protein. Cofactors may be inorganic, such as the metal atoms zinc, iron, and copper in certain forms, or organic, in which case they are referred to as coenzymes. Cofactors may either be bound tightly to active sites or bind loosely with the substrate. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a quinone, any member of a class of diketones derivable from aromatic compounds by conversion of two CH groups into CO groups with any necessary rearrangement of double bonds. The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule.
