Crystalline coenzyme Q (CoQ) was obtained from Leishmania donovani promastigotes by extraction of the unsaponifiable material with hexane, chromatography on a Florisil column and crystallization from ethanol. Crystalline CoQ in ethanol revealed an ultraviolet-peak, at 275 nm, which disappeared upon reduction with NaBH4. Polarographic and mass fragmentographic measurements were characteristic of CoQ homologs. Reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography revealed that it is CoQ9.

D011048 Polarography An electrochemical technique for measuring the current that flows in solution as a function of an applied voltage. The observed polarographic wave, resulting from the electrochemical response, depends on the way voltage is applied (linear sweep or differential pulse) and the type of electrode used. Usually a mercury drop electrode is used. DC Polarography,Pulse Polarography,Polarography, DC,Polarography, Pulse
D002855 Chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
