A ball-and-stick molecular model shows a branched-chain palmitic acid isomer (hexadecanoic acid), a saturated 16?carbon fatty acid (FA). Gray spheres denote carbon, red oxygen, and white hydrogen, highlighting the terminal carboxyl group and a methyl branch on the aliphatic chain. In biochemistry and lipidomics, this molecule serves as a lipid building block and metabolic substrate, incorporated into membrane phospholipids or stored as triacylglycerols (TAG) within cells. Hierarchically, it is a small molecule within the lipid class contributing to cellular membranes.
