Description
Octanoyl-coenzyme A, free acid is a coenzyme A thioester of octanoic acid offered as the free acid with a minimum content of 95%. Identified by CAS number 1264-52-4, it has the empirical formula C₂₉H₅₀N₇O₁₇P₃S and a molar mass of 893,73 g/mol. A 10 mg plastic pack from manufacturer Carl ROTH provides this biochemical coenzyme for laboratory work with acyl-CoA species. Pack size, formula and molar mass are stated so that solutions can be prepared from the 10 mg quantity with straightforward stoichiometry. In free-acid form the molecule is not a lithium or other metal salt, so the stated formula C₂₉H₅₀N₇O₁₇P₃S can be used directly when calculating concentrations. Octanoyl-CoA carries an eight-carbon saturated acyl chain on coenzyme A, giving a defined C₈ acyl-CoA for biochemical work on fatty-acid activation and coenzyme pathways. CAS number, empirical formula, molar mass and minimum 95% content together identify the reagent for weighing, solution preparation and laboratory documentation. The 10 mg plastic presentation suits chemical and biochemical laboratory applications that require octanoyl-coenzyme A as the free acid.
