palmitic-2,2-D2 acid

Description:
Palmitic-2,2-D2 acid, also known as deuterated palmitic acid, is a saturated fatty acid characterized by its long carbon chain, specifically consisting of 16 carbon atoms (C16:0). The "2,2-D2" designation indicates that two hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which is often used in research to trace metabolic pathways or in NMR spectroscopy for structural analysis. This compound is typically a white, waxy solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Palmitic acid is naturally found in various animal and plant fats, and its deuterated form is utilized in various biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in studies involving lipid metabolism and membrane dynamics. The presence of deuterium allows for enhanced detection and analysis in experimental settings. As with other fatty acids, palmitic acid plays a role in energy storage and cellular structure, making its deuterated variant valuable for scientific research.
