16-Azidohexadecanoic acid
Molecular Probe
16-Azidohexadecanoic acid is a synthetic fatty acid acting as a molecular probe for studying fatty acid metabolism. With its azide functional group, it serves as a versatile reagent for click chemistry, specifically enabling copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with alkyne-containing substrates. Additionally, it can participate in strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with DBCO or BCN-modified molecules, facilitating bioconjugation applications in chemical biology research.
