Some of my favorite words

ubiquinone - Another term for coenzyme Q10.

ubiquitin - A small molecule that latches onto damaged or mutated proteins in the cell. Ubiquitin acts as a flag indicating that these proteins can be destroyed by proteasomes.

Luciferase - a generic name for enzymes commonly used in nature for bioluminescence (think fireflies)
