Photoclick Myristic Acid

Photoclick myristic acid is a derivative of the saturated fatty acid myristic acid that contains a terminal clickable alkyne moiety and a photoactivatable diazirine group at carbon 10. Photoclickable long-chain saturated fatty acids have been used as probes to study protein lipidation.¹

Photoclick myristic acid is a derivative of Myristic acid (HY-N2041) with an alkyne group and a photo-activatable diazirine group. Photoclick myristic acid can be used as a probe in protein research[1].
