N-tetradecanoyl-alanine

Description:
N-tetradecanoyl-alanine is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of fatty acid derivatives, specifically an acylated amino acid. It is characterized by the presence of a tetradecanoyl group, which is a long-chain fatty acid (tetradecanoic acid or myristic acid) attached to the amino acid alanine. This structure imparts unique properties to the molecule, such as increased hydrophobicity due to the long hydrocarbon chain, which can influence its solubility and interaction with biological membranes. N-tetradecanoyl-alanine may exhibit surfactant properties and can be involved in various biochemical processes, including membrane dynamics and protein interactions. Its applications may extend to fields such as biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, where it can serve as a model compound for studying lipid-protein interactions or as a potential drug delivery agent. As with many acylated amino acids, its behavior in biological systems can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of other biomolecules.
