Azido Myristic Acid, a click chemistry reagent with an azide group, serves to identify and characterize post-translationally myristylated proteins through a straightforward and robust two-step labeling and detection technique [1].

Azido Myristic Acid may serve as an appropriate substrate for enzymes. The diminutive size of the azide group, coupled with its non-occurrence in natural molecules, means that its presence alters the biodistribution of azido palmitic acid when compared to natural palmitic acid, rendering it a suitable enzyme substrate.
