 | | Oxidative phosphorylation is a process that occurs inside a part of cells called mitochondria. |
 | | For the purposes of explaining oxidative phosphorylation, we are going to concentrate on just the double-membrane part of the structure, but it is important to remember that that's not the full story. |
 | | In terms of oxidative phosphorylation, CoQ doesn't have a particularly difficult job - it just moves the hydrogens on along the electron transport chain, but in doing so it effectively 'carries the oxidation along', which is inevitably a very important role. |
