“…The amount found is so nearly insignificant that at once a question fundamental to this study is raised: is it possible that a primitive animal such as this is incapable of synthesizing or utilizing ubiquinone biochemically? The amount of ubiquinone in the heart of the marine and river lampreys, Petromyzon marinu8 and P. fluviatili8, was measured by Pennock, Morton, Lawson & Laidman (1962); they recorded values of 70 and 51 ,g./g. respectively.…”

1. A method was developed for the analysis of ubiquinone in animal tissues and the recovery of added ubiquinone tested in liver of the rat, Crocodylus porosus and Squalus acanthias. 2. The ubiquinone content of heart, liver and gut (or breast muscle in birds) was measured in 67 different animal species, selected to be representative of all the vertebrate classes. 3. The suggestion is advanced that the possession of appreciable amounts of endogenous tissue ubiquinone is usually characteristic of evolutionarily advanced vertebrates, and the biological and biochemical significance of the results is discussed.

“…Threlfall, Grfiths & Goodman (1965) noted that good preparations of PQ-C and PQ-D exhibited a hydroxyl peak in the infrared absorption spectra. Pennock, Morton, Lawson & Laidman (1962) separated PQ-C and PQ-D still further and Griffiths (see below) separated PQ-B into no less than six components. Improved methods are now available for the separation and analysis of plastoquinones from natural products (Griffiths, Wallwork & Pennock, 1966).…”

“…The material was resolved into PQ-4 and its dimer, with a dimer of PQ-9 and a PQ-X. Pennock, Morton, Lawson & Laidman (1962) separated PQ-C and PQ-D still further and Griffiths (see below) separated PQ-B into no less than six components. for the dimers falls to half that of the monomers.…”
