Descripción

2-Hydroxyethylphosphonic acid (2-HEP) is a bifunctional reagent that reacts with hexadecanoic acid (16:0) to form 2-hydroxyethylhexadecanoic acid (2-HEHA). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme pyridoxal phosphate, which acts as a cofactor. The carbonyl group of 2-HEP reacts with the hydroxyl group of 2-HEHA to form an ester linkage, which can be cleaved by bond cleavage because it is a carboxylic acid. This process is used in analytical chemistry and has been shown to improve the quality of transgenic crops and chemical structures. The crystal structure of 2-HEP was obtained using x-ray diffraction and showed that the molecule has a flat shape with two hydroxyl groups at opposite ends.
