Homoserine is a more reactive variant of the amino acid serine. In this variant the hydroxyl side chain contains an additional CH2 group which brings the hydroxyl group closer to its own carboxyl group allowing it to chemically react to form a five-membered ring.

2′-Deoxyadenosine 5′-monophosphate disodium, a nucleic acid AMP derivative, is a deoxyribonucleotide found in DNA. 2′-Deoxyadenosine 5′-monophosphate disodium can be used to study adenosine-based interactions during DNA synthesis and DNA damage.

(3-Carboxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride is a synthetic carnitine related compound used as a transporter substrate in the cloning and sequencing of human carnitine transporter 2 (CT2).
