Figure 1: Chemical structures of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone, left structure) and vitamin K2 (menaquinones, right structure). Both contain a functional naphthoquinone ring and an aliphatic side chain. Phylloquinone has a phytyl side chain, whereas in menaquinone the side chain is composed of a varying number of isoprenoid residues. |
