Four amino acids—leucine, serine, lysine, and glutamic acid—are the most abundant amino acids, constituting 32 percent of all the residues in a typical protein.

In most mammalian tissues, ubiquinone (also called coenzyme Q) has 10 isoprene units.

Dolichols of animals have 17 to 21 isoprene units (85 to 105 carbon atoms), bacterial dolichols have 11, and those of plants and fungi have 14 to 24.
