描述
7,8-diaminononanoate, also known as 7,8-dap or 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Thus, 7,8-diaminononanoate is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. 7,8-diaminononanoate is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 7,8-diaminononanoate can be found in a number of food items such as devilfish, walnut, rapini, and swamp cabbage, which makes 7,8-diaminononanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 7,8-diaminononanoate exists in E.coli (prokaryote) and yeast (eukaryote).
