Description
Application
It is widely used in enzyme activity assays particularly for studying lipaseesterase kinetics screening enzyme inhibitors and biochemical research involving lipid metabolism.
Purpose
Its main purpose is to act as a substrate for esterases and lipases releasing 4-nitrophenol upon hydrolysis which produces a yellow color measurable by spectrophotometry.
General Description
It is an ester formed from hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) and 4-nitrophenol. It appears as a hydrophobic compound that can be hydrolyzed by enzymes.
