Palmitoleic Acid

Fabricate a 3D molecule structure model of Palmitoleic Acid utilizing Authentic Molymod Model Parts by indigoinstruments.com

Palmitoleic acid is an omega-7 (ω-7) monounsaturated fatty acid. Its molecular structure consists of 16 carbon with single covalent bonds except for a cis double bond at the 9th carbon from the omega (methyl) end. It plays an important role in human metabolism & can be biosynthesized from palmitic acid. It is also available from various dietary sources including macadamia nuts, sea buckthorn and fish oils. You can build related fatty acids molecular models to compare their chemical structures.
