2-Propylphenol Allosterically Modulates COQ8A to Enhance ATPase Activity.
Article in ACS chemical biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
COQ8A is an atypical kinase-like protein that aids the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, an essential cellular cofactor and antioxidant. COQ8A's mode of action remains unclear, in part due to the lack of small molecule tools to probe its function. Here, we blend NMR and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to help determine how a small CoQ precursor mimetic, 2-propylphenol, modulates COQ8A activity. We identify a likely 2-propylphenol binding site and reveal that this compound modulates a conserved COQ8A domain to increase nucleotide affinity and ATPase activity. Our findings promise to aid further investigations into COQ8A's precise enzymatic function and the design of compounds capable of boosting endogenous CoQ production for therapeutic gain.
