To my wife Araceli and my daughters Helena and Lucía. To the memory of my father and to my mother. Thanks for your effort to permit my education and formation. Dedications This book is dedicated to the memory of Fred L. Crane (December 3, 1925 – August 11, 2016). He discovered one of the most important molecules in organisms, Coenzyme Q10. After that, he worked hard in many other subjects to highlight the importance of this molecule till the end of his fruitful scientific life. In 1953, Fred Crane obtained his PhD in Botany from the University of Michigan, Ann Harbor. After that, he discovered coenzyme Q at the Institute of Enzyme Research, the University of Wisconsin, in 1957 (Crane et al, 1957 Isolation of a quinone from beef heart mitochondria. BBA 25: 220-221). His discovery started a long and productive scientific career with more than 400 papers. But the main characteristics of Fred Crane were his friendly character, his ability to
influence young scientists and to offer his enormous capacity to teach science, and his disposition to visit research institutes around the world sharing his expertise with other researchers. This great capacity helped him receive many awards including the American Chemical
