Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Homoserine
DescriptionL-Homoserine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. L-Homoserine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Homoserine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
