Abstract :
Fungi are a group of eukaryotes, which are the superficial heterotrophic. The Rhizopogon luteolus is one of the known genus of fungus, which was discovered in the early twentieth century. Given that fungal fatty acids have special features as the antioxidant, anticholinesterase, anti-toxic, antibacterial, anti-carcinogenic, cytotoxic and anti-mutagenic activity, are medically important. In this regard, the phytochemical studies have led to the identification of the new fatty acids in the Rhizopogon luteolus fungus. These fatty acids that have been introduced as 3-hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl hepta-cocyl acetate and protocatechuic acid have beneficial for human health. In this study, some of the physicochemical properties as the pKa, pI and the two and three dimensional structure of 3-hydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-hepta-cocyl acetate fatty acid were determined bioinformatically by Marvin Sketch and Gauss view softwares, respectively. Also, the phylogenetic tree of these species was drawn, which represents the 28% difference between the amino acid sequences, with the species Rhizopogon succosus.
