They are essential in electron and proton transport in respiratory and photosynthetic electron transport chains, and additional functions include oxidative stress defence. The biologically most relevant quinones are naphthoquinones including menaquinone and benzoquinones including ubiquinone and plastoquinone. They differ in their polar headgroup structures, physicochemical properties, and distribution among organisms. Menaquinone is the most widespread quinone in prokaryotes, ubiquinone occurs only in bacteria of the phylum </span><i>Pseudomonadota</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\"> and eukaryotes, and plastoquinone exists in phototrophic </span><i>Cyanobacteria</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\"> and plants.
