Abstract
CONTINUOUS redox processes have been effected between aqueous reactants, separated by liquid membranes in which coenzyme Q, or vitamin K, is present as a carrier molecule. These membranes show chemical specificity and function which relate closely to certain biological electron transfer processes.
