16-Mercaptohexadecanoic acid is utilized for its capacity to form self-assembled monolayers on gold, aiding in the creation of biosensors and nanoelectronic devices. Furthermore, it is integral to the study of enzyme kinetics and cellular signaling due to its interaction with proteins and enzymes, including cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in metabolic pathways, and adenylyl cyclase, which has a regulatory role in cell signaling. Additionally, its binding to fatty acid-binding proteins, which are key in fatty acid transport and metabolism, is of significant interest in research focused on understanding biological mechanisms at the molecular level.
