(2R)-3-Amino-2-hydroxypropanoic acid, commonly known as L-threonine, is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and various metabolic processes. It is characterized by its hydroxyl group, which contributes to its solubility in water and its ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. L-threonine is a polar molecule, which enhances its reactivity and interaction with other biomolecules. This amino acid is involved in the synthesis of proteins, enzymes, and neurotransmitters, making it vital for growth and development in organisms. It also serves as a precursor for other important biomolecules, including glycine and serine. L-threonine is typically found in various food sources, particularly in dairy products, meat, and certain grains. Its structure includes a central carbon atom bonded to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, and a side chain that distinguishes it from other amino acids. Due to its essential nature, L-threonine must be obtained through diet, as the human body cannot synthesize it.

D-Isoserine is a stereoselective synthetic amino acid that can be used as a structural analog of l-serine. D-Isoserine is synthesized from d-threonine and has been shown to inhibit the bacterial enzyme tyrosine kinase, which is important in cell signaling. D-Isoserine is also being investigated as a treatment for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. The marine sponge Aerogenes sp. produces this compound, which is also produced by the microbial species Aerobacter aerogenes and Staphylococcus aureus.
