PQQ, the elusive coenzyme

P M Gallop et al. Trends Biochem Sci. 1989 Aug.

Abstract

The recently discovered redox coenzyme, PQQ (methoxatin), is widely distributed. Quantitation of protein-bound PQQ has been difficult, but unique redox cycling reactions, which reflect its striking biological properties, reveal trace amounts. PQQ is a potential target for drugs.
